On the day you move into your new home you will need to ensure that you make a note of your meter readings. You will then need to phone these readings through to the gas and electric companies who supply your home.
Gas and electricity
If you do not know who the current supplier is you can contact the gas and electric enquiry numbers below with your full address, including the postcode. They will tell you who your supplier is and their telephone number.
Water enquiries
You will also need to contact your water company to tell them you have moved in. If you do not know which water company supplies your property you can call the number below.
Council Tax
You will also need to notify the Council Tax office that you have moved into the property. If you have submitted a claim for Housing Benefit you do not need to contact the Council Tax department. If you are not claiming Housing Benefit you will need to call your local Council Tax Office.
