Welcome to Connectus Utilities
A change of tenancy is managing the transfer of responsibility for the existing account holder to another account holder; this is usually when the tenant or occupant changes. This ensures transparency in billing and accurate records for both parties.
A change of tenancy for energy supplies refers to the process of updating the electricity and/or gas account details with the utility provider when the occupant of a property changes. This can happen when a business moves into a new premises, a homeowner sells their property, or when a tenant moves in or out of a rental property. It ensures that the correct person or organisation is billed for the energy used during their time of occupancy.
Connectus provides a comprehensive Change of Tenancy (CoT) service for businesses occupying commercial premises, ensuring that the transition is handled smoothly, minimising disruption or downtime.
From notifying suppliers of CoTs, to closing or transferring energy contracts and setting up new ones, Connectus handles the entire process.
We ensure accurate billing, compliance with supplier requirements, and a smooth transition for incoming tenants.
When managing a Change of Tenancy, it can be a complex and time-sensitive process. Working with Connectus helps minimise the administrative burden and risk of incorrect billing and energy supply interruptions by ensuring the process is managed accurately and efficiently from start to finish.
Connectus works with all major energy suppliers across the UK and brings extensive experience in processing and seamlessly managing Changes of Tenancy across a wide range of sectors and property types. This ranges from supplier notification and meter readings through to contract transfer or termination.
We also support with sustainability objectives by connecting you to new green energy options where appropriate, whilst optimising costs to ensure the incoming tenant is set up on the most suitable and competitive energy plan.
We provide tailored change of tenancy solutions for a wide range of sectors and projects:
01
We start by informing the energy supplier of the tenancy change and providing all required details, including the changeover date, occupier information, and site specifics.
02
We will confirm that the final meter readings have been taken and submitted correctly, ensuring that the final bill is correct.
03
Next, we will arrange for the existing energy contract to be closed or transferred, ensuring responsibilities are clearly assigned and that there are no incorrect charges.
04
Finally we will establish a new contract for the incoming tenant, securing a good deal and a contract that takes into consideration cost, usage, and sustainability targets.
Yes. A Change of Tenancy is required whenever a tenant moves in or out of a property. It ensures energy accounts are updated correctly, billing is accurate, and all parties remain legally compliant.
Completing a Change of Tenancy prevents incorrect or disputed charges, clearly assigns responsibility for energy usage, and helps avoid any disruptions to energy supply.
Connectus manages the entire Change of Tenancy process on your behalf, including supplier notifications, meter reading submissions, account updates, contract transitions, and access to green energy options. This saves time, reduces administrative burden, and minimises risk.
A Change of Tenancy can usually be completed without a charge directly with your energy supplier, depending on your supplier. However, many businesses instruct a consultancy like Connectus to complete this for them, especially for more complex set-ups, as they can offer a managed service that ensures the process is handled efficiently, accurately, and in full compliance.
We offer a number of related services for your change of tenancy, to ensure safe and efficient completion without delays or complications.
Alongside Change of Tenancy projects, we offer full energy contract management services. Taking out the guesswork and admin, we handle everything from supplier communications and contract setup to billing oversight, ensuring a smooth transition and uninterrupted energy supply for your property.
