It's a case of try it and see. The first few weeks keep an eye on your meter and check on a daily basis how much you are using and how much it will cost.
Use, say, 15,000 kWh to start with on a comparison site and choose an appropriate cheaper tariff in your postcode area. Once you have been in the flat a few months you can check again if it seems your useage is different.
Note that as an electricity-only customer you should be fine with respect to changing tariffs now and then - your higher useage means you can take advantage of changing to a cheaper tariff without worrying about the cancellation charge.0
