For example on Shared Ownership the outside and roof can never belong to you. This would be the case whether single house unit dwelling or block of 6 flats with a shared roof. ASHP and this arrangement sounds like Scotland - and Scottish laws are different - so check !
I don't understand where you got shared ownership from? it's a rented property solely owned by the HA...

I was told by the member of staff at E that they could change from Eco 7 to their standard tariff with no changes other than sending a code to the key next time we take it to a shop?
is this not the case?
It should be a simple case of sending a message through the paypoint machines to switch the tariff for you on most standard 2 rate prepayment meters. If you keep the prepayment meter there would be no need to change the meter itself and no cost involved.
As others have advised there are cheaper tariffs available to households with standard credit meters and discounts for paying by direct debit. There will be costs for changing the meter dependent on the supplier or checks with credit reference agencies.
Before deciding on changing the meter or tariff i would do some quick checks using your annual consumption figures on your statements, to decide if a single rate is the best tariff for the amount of energy your using. The heating setup you describe potentially should provide some savings but it wouldn't be correct to change the tariff before confirming the potential savings0 -
