Can switching be arranged now for our future house move next month? Contracts exchanged, completion date agreed. Is it possible to set a switch over date in near future?

    It usually takes a minimum of 28 days to change over, it can rumble on longer than this. There is a 14 day cooling off period so if everything is agreed I can't see any issue with arranging it now. Could be a pain if things fall through like.

    All that happens if there is a delay is the current supplier bills you for whatever you have used on thier supply. Whilst I understand the concern to get the best possible deal I wouldn't have though the bill would be that much for a month or so if you are on the standard tariff.
