Ask who lives there.
Look in the HIP if it's for sale.
Wait and see what bills turn up.

Do M power know who have the electric bill?


MPAN Request (Meter Point Administration Number Request)

If you are trying to obtain your MPAN to enable you to transfer
electricity supplier(s) you can do this in number of ways:

* MPAN from existing energy bill : If you have an existing
electricity bill for your property you should be able to find your
MPAN. MPANs are often printed at the bottom of the first page of your
bill or on the reverse of the front page.

* MPAN from a DNO MPAS Service: You can obtain your MPAN from the
Distribution Network Operator (DNO) who is responsible for the
distribution network for your area.

If you telephone the Distribution company for your area they will be
able to provide you with the 13 digit MPAN core over the telephone. In
most cases this should be enough information to arrange the transfer
of your electricity supply, it is also worthwhile asking that they
send the information to you - that way you will also receive the full
MPAN.

What do you mean by "supplies"? Do you mean the company that
physically supplies the electricity or the company that raises the
bill for the electricity consumed?

I've not had any trouble with Scottish Power and they (for me) are
one of the cheapest suppliers (standing charge, online, paperless,
fixed monthly direct debit). Noticeably cheaper than BG.

For me they are also the cheapest.

In terms of 'getting what you pay for' the key issue is the reliability of
the supply, and that is determined by the local 'PES'.

EDF were obliged to send me £50 because the supply had been so irregular.
There is minimal incentive for them to provide a more reliable supply.

British Gas are next-to-bottom (above Npower) in this survey:
