But that is not the only thing set to change in October.

There is further uncertainty around the economy with Rachel Reeves set to deliver her first budget as Chancellor later this month.

While banks are changing their rules and stamp prices are on the rise again.

These are the major changes coming in October you need to be aware of.

Energy bills are set to rise by £149 for the average household in October after Ofgem announced it would be raising its energy price cap.

The new price cap figure will be £1,717 from October 1, up from £1,568 previously.

The cap does not set the maximum a household will pay for their energy but limits the amount providers can charge them per unit of gas or electricity, so those who use more energy will pay more.
