Gas Bill Problem

I have just moved in to a 4 bed bungalow with a loft conversion already done. It has a central heating system running off a combi boiler and my issue is that the first bill received is rather high. The previous owner was with Br Gas for both services and straight away I checked and found that NPower would be cheapest fro me so I immediatly moved to them.

I have just received my gas bill for the period from when I moved in to when the new supplier took over and if I calcualte this at a rate of one year my gas bill would be about £1300 yet in my previous house 3 bed (boiler system)I only paid £357 for the previous 12 months.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of what is going on here as the increase does seem a tad excessive to me.

Is it beacuse it is a combi system?
What could be cause of this?

    Welcome to the forum.

    More information is needed.

    What are the details of your bill? kWh, period of bill, cost.

    How did you reach the £1300 figure.

    Are you sure the reading when you moved in was accurate? and the last reading accurate.
