Meter readings are an important part of moving out of your property.  
You might be wondering why they are so crucial – what happens with the reading once it is taken?  
 
In this blog post, we will answer all of your questions about meter readings and what happens next! 
 
First, let's start with why you need to take a meter reading when you move out. The reading is used to determine how much energy you have used.  
 
This information is then used by the new tenants or owners to set up their energy account.  
 
Additionally, the estate agent will need this information to finalize the contract. 
Now that we know why meter readings are important, let's move on to where you can find them.  
The reading should be located on the front of your electricity or gas meter. If you're having trouble finding it, don't hesitate to ask your estate agent for help.  
Once you've found the reading, simply write it down or take a picture for reference. 
 
So, what happens next?  
If you're using an estate agent to help with your move, they will likely handle the meter reading for you.  
However, if you're managing the move yourself, it's important to submit the reading to your energy provider as soon as possible.  
This will ensure that your account is closed and you're not charged for any energy used after you've moved out. 
 
We hope this blog post has helped clear up any confusion about meter readings and what happens next! 
Moving can be stressful, but taking care of the little details will make the process much smoother.  
Good luck with the move!
