Money saving expert Martin Lewis has urged people living in flats or houses with fewer bedrooms than occupants to seek an “assessed charge” from their water supplier if they cannot get a meter installed in order to save money on their bills.
Speaking during the latest episode of ITV’s The Martin Lewis Show Live, the consumer rights champion explained that there is “no switching” and “no competition” when it comes to domestic water supply. But some people may nevertheless be losing out if their property is deemed unsuitable for the installation of a meter to record precisely how much they use.
