    EDF is your supplier...
    From the moment you used energy in the property you entered into a deemed contract with EDF, which will have put you onto their Standard Variable Tariff.
    You must open an account with them before you try to switch to a new supplier, if indeed that is what you decide to do.

    You would have become responsible for the EDF bills as soon as the estate administrator transferred ownership to you. At that point they should have submitted meter readings to EDF and paid the final bill for the estate.

    Just make sure the account with EDF is fully set up before you attempt to switch. ie they have confirmed an account no./tariff etc.
    I have personal experience of a switch being blocked because the losing supplier had not fully set up the account.
