The Hidden Cost of Missed Contract Renewals (and How to Stop It)

September 2, 2025

It’s the end of the month, you’re busy, and you don’t notice the email from your supplier.

Your contract expires. You’re automatically rolled onto a “standard” tariff.

Suddenly your energy bill is 30% higher. Your insurance renewal is loaded with hidden fees. Your broadband is out of contract and overpriced.

This story plays out every day for landlords, property managers, and small businesses — and it costs thousands each year.


The True Cost of Missed Renewals

Suppliers know many customers don’t track their contract end dates. They rely on it.

  • Energy suppliers often default you onto higher “out of contract” rates.

  • Insurance firms quietly increase premiums.

  • Broadband contracts roll into higher monthly fees.

For property professionals with multiple services across multiple addresses, it’s even easier to lose track. The result? Silent overspending month after month.


Why Is This So Common?

The root cause is simple: documents and data are scattered.

  • Bills arrive by email, post, or portals.

  • Contracts sit in drawers or folders.

  • Reminders are left in calendars (if at all).

Most people don’t have a single system that keeps track of every end date.


How Savvi Fixes It

Savvi automatically extracts key dates from your contracts and bills the moment you upload or forward them.

  • Contract end dates are stored and tracked.

  • Renewal deadlines are highlighted.

  • You get alerts before you roll over.

  • Alternative deals are suggested in time to act.

It’s like having an assistant who never forgets.


A Real-World Example

Take a small landlord with five properties. Each has gas, electricity, broadband, and insurance contracts. That’s 20+ contracts to track — all with different end dates.

Without a system, it’s impossible. But with Savvi, every single contract is logged, enriched, and monitored.


Stop Paying the Loyalty Penalty

The so-called “loyalty penalty” costs UK households and businesses billions each year. Staying with the same supplier without reviewing your contract means you always pay more.

By never missing a renewal, you stay in control and keep more money in your pocket.
