moving home and energy bills - help

[red30505]

Hi
Until recently wouldn't have been an issue but I'm beginning to wonder about moving house and our energy providor.
I managed to get a fixed rate in October last year which I'm VERY KEEN to hold onto.
IS it cheeky to ask our vendor to switch tarrif after exchange and then having completion as the 17th day after?
Or, we're not moving until a while after completion as we need to get some work done... I presume if we switch it to the same supplier that we're on, and then move in and transfer our info over we can keep it?

Has anyone done this?
Before this year it wasn't a consideration, but I didn't realise we couldn't take our tariff with us if we switched.

(and i really want to as it's locked til 2023)

No you can't ask the vendor to switch tariff as they will then be stuck with higher rates. Some utility providers let you take the tariff with you to your new place

You will have to sign up as a new customer with whichever company currently supplies the property you are moving into. If that is not your existing supplier, you would then need to switch back, but don't bank on getting the same deal

My supplier says you can take your tariff with you. Who are you with?

Won’t you need energy while renovating the place? Then you can just move your tariff for the start

thanks all for input.
