You need to check which company is the existing supplier first and see what they can offer. Then when you’re in you can see if it’s worth changing depending on what’s on offer. If there’s anything on offer at that point. You might find that a variable tariff with the price cap is the best you can do at the moment.
All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.1 -
Go with whoever the current supplier of the property is. You have to when you very first move in anyway but they will also be the cheapest option available to you until probably April. This wouldn't usually be the case but is right now due to the crazy situation with gas prices.

Whichever supplier supplies the property at the moment becomes your supplier the moment to take ownership of the property and use any energy. You must contact them and open an account. Becoming a new customer is one of the few ways of getting on to the supplier's Standard Variable Tariff at the moment, which with the strange state of the energy market is likely to be the best available deal. They might try to upsell you to a fixed term tariff but all such offers are now at higher rates than the SVT. (A few months ago they would have been have been at lower rates!)1
