We haven't exchanged yet but I don't think it will be long now....At the moment I believe British Gas and Southern Electric supply the home we plan to buy.... also BT provides the telephone service.All three of these companies I consider to be expensive (as proven with my past experience with BG and BT) and as a keen moneysaver I always trawl around for the best fuel prices etc.However with everything going on I'm not sure whether to start with new suppliers from day one or wait a week or two until we are a little bit more settled in the house.Any thoughts please?

Wait until you are in the house as there will be plenty else going on. Also exchange completion dates are subject to change and you will just end up going round in circles. By all means do your research on finding cheaper suppliers , but remember that too may have changed by the time you move in!0
