Hi all!
Sorry if this has already been posted somewhere!
My partner and I are hoping that we will complete the purchase of our first house the end of next week and, being new to this, I have some questions I'm hoping you all can help with!
I know that, from reading, we will need to go with the energy providers that the house is currently with to get everything 'up and running'. My questions is, how do we decide which provider/tarrif to go with considering our energy consumption is unknown to us. There will only be the two of use living there - it is a chalet-bungalow with 3 bedroom (one of which is downstairs - and we are both teachers so won't be in during the day during the week.
Any help would be gratefully received along with any other tips for things to do when we get the keys!
Matt

If there is an 'energy performance certificate' - then you can use figures from this.
Also, contact the seller, and ask!
How recent is it?
A 1800s property is going to (generally) cost _lots_ more to heat than a 2005 one.0 -
Work on £100 a month, for both, you wont be far off with that.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -
It's a 1970s property so not that old! Generally, is it better to go with the same company for gas and electricity? Any ideas who is best for a fixed rate?
Sorry about all the questions! :beer:0
