Changing from a prepayment meter.

We are looking at moving house and the house we are looking at currently has a prepayment meter for the gas in there.
However, it was previously a student house. We don't want a prepayment meter and were just wondering how easy or difficult it is to get suppliers to change it?

I've never encountered a prepayment meter before and am a little clueless.

    Presumably your present supplier would change it for you, as they already know about your previous payment history details. Give them a ring.
