You can't transfer your tariff to your new house. BG will not allow you to do so.

So if you take out a fixed tariff with them with an exit fee, you will have to pay the exit fee and still have SVT in the new house.

Also you need to go with the current supplier first before you can change suppliers after three weeks.

Oh, British Gas said I could! I'm probably going to stick with the variable rate and close my account when I sell the house.

Some suppliers will allow a contract to transfer between properties but I would get confirmation from them in writing.

When you move into your new property, you do need to sign up with the deemed supplier. You can then initiate a switch back to BG. You will pay the deemed supplier for energy used until the transfer takes place. The BG tariff would be adjusted for regional tariff differences.
