i never thought of the property as being classed as other and i totally agree. Thankyou Nikki. I think i might ring them later and point this out.0

There is an "other " but that covers flats, etc
This property is a semi detached house.
It might well be small and the size of a flat but it is still a semi house so I can't see how any other banding would apply.There is a race of men that don't fit in; A race that can't stand still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin, and roam the world at will.

Not quite true. Business rules dictate "other" . The property in question is a semi detached. That is not "other" or end terrace or flat. I am aware that it is all flats and all terraces but again this is a semi detached house
Caravans are something slightly different historically. Granny flats can also be semi detached depending on their building type.
This property is a house and the tariff has been reviewed and it was reduce from a detached to a semi.There is a race of men that don't fit in; A race that can't stand still;

A small granny flat would be classed as a flat if it were not a house.
This is a house and a semi detached on at that. It is not automatically classed as a semi, that is what it is. The assessment has been changed from detached to semi as that is what it is.
It has nothing to do with any phone call. Mulberry herself listed the property as Semi detached.There is a race of men that don't fit in; A race that can't stand still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin, and roam the world at will.

when did i 'list' it as semi-detatched and with who? i know i spoke to STW on the phone yesterday but it was them that said they would change the banding to semi-detached. Currently, i'm still seeking the reason behind why STW refuse to install a meter and also with the Land Registry to find out the true classing of this structure. CCwater are also currently waiting to understand a few things regarding this. The unfairness behind this being that I'm being charged the same amount as the 7 membered family 3 doors away who live in a semi-detatched.0

When did Severn Trent water refuse to fit a meter ? You only applied the other day, No visit has taken place yet. You filled in the form online and what did you list the property as ?
Are you saying that the property is a terrace ? Cos that is not the details held.There is a race of men that don't fit in; A race that can't stand still;

The differing opinions are exactly why you should write to them with the information. With respect there are specific departments that deal with your concerns and not the phone staff.
Anyone could have originally said it was detached, an inspector, whoever converted the property or it was "default" set to that. The operator would say it would be amended to a semi, based on whatever you told them yesterday.
I maintain it's not black and white, and if CCW are involved then you should at least get a proper explanation of why you can't have a meter etc0 -

It was a previous tenant that was refused, but that was according to an operator a few days ago so i've applied myself for a meter yesterday to get the reason why. So fingers crossed.0 -
There are indeed different departments and it is not black and white.
Points are being missed here, Like it has been changed on information supplied already so the starting bill is no longer an issue.
No one has yet said a meter can not be installed. The application has only just but put through so that is a bit of a red herring.
if Mulberry wishes to carry on with the complaint ccw and take it to ofwat that is of course their right and it will of course be taken seriously .But to be totally honest if Severn Trent had been given the chance it might not have had to go that far.
The ball is in Mulberrys court now as all the information has been supplied and options have been discussed.
I will bow out of this topic now as I am no longer willing to get involved.
But as a side question :
Nikki do you work for Severn Trent ?There is a race of men that don't fit in; A race that can't stand still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin, and roam the world at will.
