Moving home

Hi

Wondered if anyone could give me a little advice please, we are due to exchange on the 13th Jan and hoping to be in our new home the week after.

When i inform the gas and elec supplier (E-on) do i close my account and then when in the new house open up a new account (have read i could get cashback through quidco this way) also the house we are moving to is also currently using E-on. Or do i just transfer the account over? If i do the latter i wouldnt get the cashback right??

Whats the best way to go about this?

Thanks
Justp

If Eon supply both houses you will not get cash back. Give them your details so they can close and set up accounts for you for each property. Make sure you give readings at both ends.

If eon supply both addresses your accounts will effectively not close (unless you ask) but they will just transfer across to your new prop and your next bill will have both properties on them.

Hi there

Thanks for your replies, but what about if i was to close the account on our current address - the bills are in my sole name (maiden name) and then open a new account at the new address in my married name? Would i be able to get the cashback then or would that look a bit dogdy doing it this way?

Thanks Justp x

The cashback only works when E-on effectively get a new sale, because the property at the new address is already supplied by E-on, they will not get a sale out of that property. So the only way of getting the cashback is to change away from them then change back to them.
