    Turns out that for the entire flat block there is only 1 account with EDF, but several meters...

    Most likely, there is a landlord's meter at the supply intake, which is then sub-metered for each flat.  The sub-meters belong to the landlord.  Landlords do this because it's cheaper than getting the electricity supplier to run in separate supplies to each flat.

    It's not so good for the tenants, as they have no control over who the supplier is or what the tariff is.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.

    £30 sounds like a great deal. I would be filling my boots.  Install a hot tub etc.

    Yeah because the landlord won't then up it to £150 on receipt of bill.

    However agree £30 is a great deal just accept it without seeing a bill and hope he doesn't put it up again.
