    FOLLOW UP QUESTION:

    I’ve found a couple of tariffs that are a) fixed for 12 months, and b) have exit fees.

    If I was unlucky enough to move out before 12 months is up, would the supplier be able to charge me the exit fees and/or force me to switch to that same supplier at the new property? Does it depend on each supplier’s T&C’s?

    Energy contracts are tidied to the property (in general no transferable) so if you have to leave the property within 365 days then you will be liable for any early exit fees that the contract says apply.
    The supplier will not have any legal claim to enforce the current contract at the new property that you move to.

    Perfect, thanks very much!

    Some tariffs have low standing charges and high pence per kWh for low users, and the opposite for high users. So I might be worse off if I ended up on a tariff with a high standing charge and low pence per kWh and realised my consumption is lower than expected so I’m actually worse off. :think:

    The difference between 4,000 and 5,000kWhr is only going to be about £2.50 a month so it's really not going to make that much difference. You'll only really find out what the new place will use after a few months. If you avoid tariffs with exit fees there won't be any extra cost in switching if things turn out significantly different.
