6 month tenancy before living with family - can I still take fixed rate deals?

Squeaky_Kleen

I'm moving into a property rental (by myself) for 6 months, then I'm likely living with family for a while afterwards.  If I get a fixed rate electricity deal, do I have to pay exit fees when I leave?(I wont be responsible for bills when I move in with family). What's the best way to go in a situation like mine?

Thanks for your help!

Who is your supplier? Ask them. In your situation, I'd only sign up for one with no exits fees - I can't see them not invoking the fee when you're not transferring to them in your new home (for those that do allow this).

There's no "must have" fixed fee at present anyway, with rates dropping in April, so an SVT might be easiest all round.

Yes actually Variable does seem to be the way to go currently, I'll just do that then.

I believe most companies charge the exit fee if you move out & don’t take the supply with you even if you can’t as in your case. 

I think they were losing too much money as anyone can say they’re not responsible at the new property even if they are
