Our Pricing Guide

Annual Price Changes

A price increase will be applied annually in April to all your charges unless we have agreed otherwise with you. We will notify you in advance of any price increase. The price increase will be equal to a percentage of:

  • an amount equal to the Consumer Price Index rate published by the Office of National Statistics in January of that year (excluding negative rates); and
  • an additional 3.9%

As an example: The price of your services is £30 per month and the Consumer Price Index rate is 10.5% for that year. The price increase for your services will be 14.4% (10.5% + 3.9%) and the price for your services will rise to £34.32 per month.
