    Gas: Meter Number Helpline on 0870 608 1524. If it's a new build you may indeed be shipperless.
    Elec: call your regional supplier (if you post the region, someone can advise the number).

    With electricity lots of properties are now being connect by iDNOs. Suggest you call BGAS back again and ask the to check on ECOES who your registered supplier is. If no supplier is listed you can choose who you want.

    And don't forget to take meter readings the day you move in.
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill

    Is this a one off property that has been built, or part of a larger development by this builder?
