When you move in, you will be on a 'deemed contract' with the existing supplier. You can't move for 28 days. You are best to move in, get your details sorted, research the deal and then make your move.

If you try too soon, you could set up a deal only to discover that for some reason [eg wrong type of meters] it can't happen. and if you are in a flat, you would do well to stay with the existing supplier until you have proved which are your meters.

thanks- its a new build house and we will be the first people to move in- does that make a difference??

Ask your builder who the supply is with and what the take over arrangements are.

But above all, take and keep readings of ALL meters.
