Service · Change of tenancy

Change of tenancy — don't inherit someone else's bill.

When you take on a new commercial site, the supplier defaults you onto deemed rates — usually the most expensive tariff they publish. A proper COT and immediate contract quote fixes that from day one.

What deemed rates cost you

Every supplier publishes deemed (or "out-of-contract") rates that apply the moment a new occupier moves in without a signed contract. They're typically 40–100% above negotiated rates and include no price protection. Sitting on them for even a month on a modest commercial supply can cost hundreds; on a larger site, thousands.

What we do on day one

  1. Notify the incumbent supplier of the change of tenancy with the correct handover date and meter readings.
  2. Register your business on the MPAN/MPRN so future correspondence, bills and readings come to you.
  3. Quote the whole market immediately and put you on a contract, not a deemed rate.
  4. Backdate the contract to the handover date where the supplier allows.

Handing a site back

We handle the outgoing side too — final meter reads, closing statement, cancellation of MOP/DC/DA agreements for HH sites, and confirmation the supplier has released you. This is the step most businesses skip and it's the one that generates surprise final invoices six months later.

What we need from you

  • Handover date (completion or lease start).
  • Opening meter reads — a photo of each meter on the day is enough.
  • Signed Letter of Authority so we can speak to suppliers on your behalf.
