Access to gas meter

When you purchased, did you not get a key from the sellers?

Given your predicament, probably not.

Try going back to the agents and ask them to contact sellers and ask them where the key is which you should have had and did not get.

Start a long-winded and long drawn out exchange of correspondance with the management company, quoting and refuting the appropriate laws.


Or bake a cake for the neighbour, have a chat, get to know them, and borrow/examine their key.

If that's not the right one, use google - there are 100s availble.

My issue precisely! They insist the key to the door is a standard FB key, which is clearly not the case (seems like they are just giving us a default reply).

There are several standard FB keys. Ask them which one.
The gas man may not have tried them all (or any).

Maybe I wasn't clear in the first post, the gas engineer told us the slot was not of any standard FB key...

Well the gas man is probably wrong, or may not have a full set themselves, it would be very strange if a standard FB lock isn't used - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fire-brigade-master-key-set/dp/B00ATP8M9M/ref=sr_1_1?s=outdoors&ie=UTF8&qid=1543588132&sr=8-1&keywords=fire+brigade+master+key+set

As you can see from the link above the FB keys are standard keys, did the gas man actually try a set of keys?

Much better to ask the neighbour and find out what key they have - FB numbers are normally printed on the key itself.
