Author Topic: Change of ownership RPI (Read 1562 times)

Hello,

I have recently purchased my in-laws house that includes a 3.8kw solar panel array on the roof. They were fortunate enough to have these installed in 2011 when FIT payments were generous at a rate of 43.3p. This was RPI linked and increased to just over 50p. Now that I have sent the paperwork in to transfer ownership eon have sent terms which stipulate the original 43.3p rate. Should it not be the rate that had increased with RPI? I will phone tomorrow but I wondered if anyone had an opinion on the matter?

Put this into Google .. there are quite a few posts to look at :-

" Can the electricity FIT rate be changed upon the sale of a property ? "

Hi. Thank you for the reply. I had googled that and looked at pretty much every page listed but I wasn't sure if the rise in RPI was transferable which according to e.on today is. So I'm happy to be receiving just over 50 pence per kWh.
