Hi folks,
looking for some advice please. A few years ago my wife invested her redundancy money in a small 1 bed flat which she rents out. The property has electric night storage heaters and is fitted with a dual rate meter.
Since May the property has been empty and the electricity turned off at the main fuse boxes (day & night) and all appliances, inc storage heaters, off at the wall switches.
My wife today received a bill for £216. We’ve just checked the meters and it would appear the flat has used 1084 day and 303 night units since May - this is with both (day & night) fuse boxes main switches OFF and all appliances OFF at their wall switches.
The meter is in “meter box” located outside the flat in a communal hallway....
Are we right to assume the meter is faulty?
Any advice on how should we proceed would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.
