| Comment | I'd say ignore them. When you move in on the day, find out who the leccy and gas suppliers (often the same company but not always) are to the property - there are numbers you can call for this, dead easy.
Then call up that utility company, set up an account in your name and give your opening readings.
Then fire your details into a comparison website like [cheap energy club on moneysavingexpert](https://clubs.moneysavingexpert.com/cheapenergyclub) and see if you can move onto a cheaper deal. You should be able to switch easily unless you sign up to a fix where there are exit fees.
I'd imagine these companies get their cut by moving you on to a more expensive deal and the letting agency gets a referral fee for every successful applicant they pass on. |
