Newbie, help please?! :)

Hello everyone. I am going to be renting a flat on my own for the first time and just wanted some information if anyone can help?
It's a 1 bedroom, top floor flat with economy 7 heating and storage heaters (after reading some posts in another forum I'm not sure I'll be using them lol). Would anyone have an idea of my yearly or monthly usage for electricity?
I'm using a comparison website to find the best deals and it's asking how many kWh I would use monthly/yearly and I'm unsure as haven't lived alone before.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks x

    When you move in you will inherit whichever Utility Co. supplies the flat now.
    The Letting Agent will know who they are so ask them, then phone that supplier and ask them what the Day/Night annual consumptions were for the previous tenant.

    As a new account, the current supplier will put you onto an expensive 'Standard' tariff, so as soon as you have the figures, hit the switch sites for a better deal
