VOIDS OVER 90 DAYS
When a void passes 90 days, we remove the meter.
For properties void over 90 days, we arrange meter removal. Standing charges stop immediately — and so does the slow bleed of up to £1,271 a year per property.
WHAT A LONG-TERM VOID ACTUALLY COSTS
The numbers make the case on their own
Without structured validation, supplier bills slip through with the wrong charges, the wrong period, or no link to tenancy dates. By the time year-end reveals the damage, it’s too late to dispute.
STANDING CHARGE / DAY
Up to £0.73
Charged whether or not any energy is used.
STANDING CHARGE / YEAR
£266
Per property, before any usage whatsoever.
TYPICAL 2-BED / YEAR
£1,271
Total energy cost. Eliminated on meter removal.
THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE
Long-term voids quietly burn through budgets
If a property is going to sit empty for months — major works, decant, regeneration — standing charges accrue every day of that time. Most organisations don’t have a clean process for identifying those properties and getting the meters removed at the right moment.
HOW WE DO IT
Identify eligible voids
Properties over the 90-day threshold surfaced from your portfolio automatically.
Arrange removal
Supplier liaison and engineer scheduling handled end-to-end by TSM.
Standing charges stop
The moment the meter leaves the property, the billing clock stops.
Documented + reinstatable
Removal certificate kept on file. New meter arranged on re-entry.
WHAT YOU GET
Up to £266/year saved on standing charges per eligible property
Full £1,271/year avoided for a typical 2-bed long-term void
No ongoing supplier admin on dormant properties
Clean reinstatement when the property is ready to re-let
