Property market faces energy-efficiency ticking timebomb: Two-thirds of UK homes will be unsellable
A very sensationalist title. If they actually enact this, the quality of an EPC report and the huge amount of "assumed" points on it will be very important. https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/article-9080199/Is-property-market-facing-ticking-time-bomb.html

Downsides to Smart Meters in 2021?
Hi all, We moved a few years back and our property still had PAYG meters which we're now looking to change as its expensive and a pain to keep topping up. The current meters (electricity and gas) are with British Gas. It's been fun trying to actually get in touch with BG but eventually I had luck with Twitter, and they're…

Symbio Energy - it must be a scam - I switched via Martin Lewis Energy Club !!!
I moved my electricity to Symbio Energy on the suggestion via MLESC. Biggest mistake ever. Firstly, I followed a link via Martin Lewis Energy Club stating it had no exit fee, but now signed up, it does have an exit fee. The service has been shocking and the prices a joke. I was paying c.£45/mth for electricity. Not only do…

Gas Meter Door Lock
Hi, Just moved into a new home and I've noticed that the lock for the gas meter is broken. Obviously, when it's windy the door is swinging back and forth. I email my energy company to ask who is responsible, and they replied saying it was my responsibility to repair. Does this sound right?

PAYG to DD
Sorry if I sound thick but I don’t know much in relation to energy. I would like to move from PAYG to monthly DD. Is this an easy process? Do they conduct a credit check? I’m just on my way to rebuilding a good credit history. What happens to the credit on my current meter?

I was a tenant in a house for 9 months. I moved out 8 years ago. Last December, I got a letter out of the blue from British Gas addressed to myself and my housemate at the time.
