utility bills while applying for visa extension

Dear Forum members,
I am here on a tier 2, I am getting an on site hospital accommodation ie a 2 bed flat for my wife and kid, which is very reasonable and convenient. The rent includes the utility bills and council tax. Only concern I have is that no separate utility bills will be issues in my name. Will that be an issue while applying for ilr/visa extension?
Thanks.

Can you explain your thinking some more? It's not necessary to provide utility bills for this application so I wonder what purpose you think they may serve.

Thanks for your response. Sorry about lack of clarity in my first post.
My understanding is utility bills like electricity , water and council tax bills are good evidence of address proof, so in future if I have to make application for tier 2 ext/ change of employer / ILR, will I be needing them. Because my onsite hospital accomodation rent includes all those, so they wont be able to provide seperate bills for them.

I think you are talking about co-habitation documents ?

If you are, then you can show NHS letters, GP letters, phone bills or statements, bank letters or statements and any kind of letters on your name or in your spouse name or in joint name.

P.S- You don't need any utility bills for visa extension.
