Give them a final meter reading online.

Is it common in the UK to be able to switch electricity providers (ie., to have multiple providers to choose from, not just whichever company operates in the area)?

The last meter reading is from the electricity and gas meters in your home, so that a final payment can go to your old company and the new one knows where you start from.

When a property is sold over here, I think a utility worker will stop by to either turn the power off (if the new owner hasn't set it up to transfer over to their account right away) or to check the meter reading. I didn't have to check the meter reading myself when I got this house. And I guess that is what surprised me the most, that the utilities over there would trust the payer to provide an accurate number. Although from Bugshaw's comment, which makes more sense to me now, apparently you can't trust the utilities on that either.

I can't blame the SNP for trying to focus on the day job and waiting until we find out what sort of Brexit we're going to get, given the lack of influence any devolved administration would have on the process.
