Moving into a property supplied by ScottishPower
How and when should I let you know that I’m moving into a new home that’s supplied by ScottishPower?
Please let us know when you're moving into a new home as close to your move in date as possible. This will allow us to get started setting up your account.
If the property does not have a Pay As You Go or Smart Pay As You Go meter - which is where you use a key, card or the ScottishPower app to top up - then the quickest and easiest way to complete your home move is online.
If your new home does have a Pay As You Go or Smart Pay As You Go meter, please visit the get in touch section of our website and select ‘Moving Home’ in the drop-down menu.
What information do I need to setup my account
To complete the setup of your account, we will require the following
Your new address
The date you're legally responsbile for the property
Meter readings for your new property (if you have them)
Bank details (if you wish to pay by Direct Debit)
I’m moving to a home already supplied by ScottishPower - will the gas/electricity be on when I move in?
There should be no interruption to your gas and/or electricity supply. If you’ve moved into a property with a Pay As You Go meter and are off supply, please contact us on 0345 270 0700. Our contact centres are open Monday to Friday 9am until 5pm.
To ensure accurate billing, please take a note of your gas and/or electricity meter readings on the date you become legally responsible for your new home.
How do I notify you of a new tenant moving into a property?
Either you (as the landlord) or your tenant can let us know of the change. However, the new tenant or account holder (if this differs) needs to contact us to set up their new account, tariff and payment plan. To ensure accurate billing, please take a note of the meter readings on the day the tenant moves in or out of your property.
