Default consumer unit location

Thanks, that was what I was hoping for, makes life so much easier.

However, there could be a problem. It is not usually allowed to have the
meter tails more than 2 metres long, as the supplier doesn't like protecting
part of your installation with their service fuse. If you need to have
longer tails than this you need to install a switchfuse unit next to the
meter with a suitable fuse (i.e. 60A or 100A, whatever your supply is rated
for). A fuse is better than an MCB for this, as you don't really want it to
blow before the circuit MCBs get a chance.
