Moving premises

Let us know that you're moving into new premises by simply completing our online form

If you're moving out, you can complete this short online form

As close to your move or change in tenancy date as possible. We're happy to receive a change in tenancy form up to a week in advance.

The information you need to provide will vary depending on whether you’re moving in or moving out.

Mandatory fields will include a moving date and meter information, such as a meter reading, serial number and invoice structure identifier. Non-mandatory fields will depend on the situation. However, it will enhance the accuracy of the change of tenancy if you complete all fields on the form.

There are a couple of ways you can find out who supplies your gas and electricity.

For your gas supply, search your postcode on the Find My Supplier website. Alternatively, call the Meter Number Helpline on 0870 608 1524. Please note, calls to this number cost 7p per minute, plus your phone company's access charge.

For your electricity supply, search your postcode on the Power Cut 105 website. This will tell you who your electricity operator is. You can then search your postcode on your electricity operator's website.

Alternatively, call your regional electricity distribution number. Please note, call costs will vary based on the starting digits, your phone provider, and whether you use a landline or mobile.
