Weighing up my options
Options
Hi all, I've had an email prompt from E-on Next to say that my dual fuel tariff ends on the 11th August 2025, so I'm weighing up my options about what to do next.
I prefer to go for price certainty so I've already started looking for a new tariff, but I was curious whether to wait until closer to the time to sign on the dotted line.
I'm sure I'd read somewhere that the price cap is expected to reduce this month, so my logic was that if it does better deals may emerge, but I could be completely making all this up (or misunderstanding what I've read). Any thoughts ?

The price cap doesn't really have any bearing on the cost of fixes. I'd suggest that going for a fix at a price you feel happy with, but which does not have exit fees so if a better one comes along you can jump, is probably your best approach!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
