Landlords and tenants will have access to supplier’s customer service and tariffs
Spark Energy has joined forces with the lettings group Leaders to offer tenants access to the supplier’s customer service and tariffs.
Under the partnership, landlords and tenants will benefit from Spark Energy’s “price promise”, which means new tenants will be offered the supplier’s Move-In Saver tariff, which is checked every month to ensure it is cheaper than the average “Big Six” rate.
Spark’s commercial director, Ian Crowther, said they are looking “forward to a long and productive relationship” with Leaders.
“As the only energy supplier built around the lettings industry, our partners benefit from our dedicated partner management team and a reduction in costs during void periods,” said Crowther.
“Our customers enjoy products, service and communications that are designed around their specific tenure and aim to make home moving simpler.”
Leaders is part of Property Services Holdings. The firm’s chief operating officer, Peter Loverdos, said: “Spark’s knowledge and understanding of the lettings industry was a key factor in our decision and its aim to provide excellent customer service will benefit our landlords and tenants.”
Last week, Utility Week reported that Spark Energy had bought the Sussex-based broadband firm, Home Telecom, for an undisclosed sum.
The deal was the company’s first since its management buyout in 2016, and will make them the UK’s first multi-utility company aimed specifically at the rental sector.
