We are getting close to completion and have received details of who currently supplies the property with electric, gas etc. do we have to stick with these suppliers or can we choose whoever we want. Do we jus ring up and inform them??

Yes but is that ring up the company the vendor currently uses, or the one i want to use, or both:(0 -
Best to do both and check who gives the cheapest price. Make sure you read the meters the day you move in so that you are not paying the previous owners bills.Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)0

Here is what I did,
1. read meter
2. call existing company with meter reading.
3. they told me i was on a standard (read expensive) tariff and changed me onto a cheaper one with no tie in period.
4. this gave me time to find the cheapest provider for me
5. switch to cheapest provider by calling them up, they will liase with old provider0
