Just a quickie. Do energy suppliers have special conditions to cover such an eventuality, or do they charge penalties, even if the new accommodation is served by the same supplier?

  • Most energy suppliers end a fixed tariff contract when you move away so there would be no early exit fees.

    You will need to check the Terms and Conditions of the supplier you wish to use.

    From memory First Utility would charge exit fees as it is in their T&Cs

    As above. A home move voids your contract without penalty. You cannot port an account from one property to another: you are always in a deemed contract with the existing supplier.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Thank you both! I should have worked that out, but it's surprising; in personal financial affairs one is more easily confused than with those of others.
