I heard that there was a website but I can't find it.
I'd rather do it without speaking to the estate agents/previous owners etc....

Without speaking to the former owners or estate agent you can't.
I'm assuming you are in the UK, so what you can do is go to a comparison website, there a few, and I won't recommend anyone in particular since they all get commision if you buy through them, and enter your post code, that should give you a list of the suppiers that deal with your area. You can then phone each one of them up if you are up to it.
Otherwise just wait for the bill to arrive.
It is probably best if you shop around and find the best deal and change to them asap.

If the people who you were buying the house from were considerate they would have left a list of who supplied what. The estate agents on the house particulars should have listed the gas/electricity/water suppliers.
Otherwise look in the front of the phonebook - there will be a list of all the suppliers and the areas they cover.

The best way might be to look in the local phone directories, the local suppliers will advertise in there.
Eg Severn Trent and Scottish power are in my phone book, if I was to phone them it would get me to the right people.
I notice several of the answerers above are suggesting you switch. Note that you'll still need to give the existing supplier notice to avoid a payment, so don't just jump in and phone the cheapest - you'll still need the existing contact details.
If you just siwtch , you'll soon find out who the original supply was because you'll receive a bill from them for about £50 for switching without notice.

If its allready conected the agent who sold you the house schould be able to tell you,but if its a new house i expect its not yet connected and you can go with whoever you feel will give you the best deal,which you can anyway as you have not signed up with anyone so the choise is yours

It's virtually impossible :(
With all sorts of companies supplying electricity & gas these days you simply cannot find out.
Take a meter reading and wait for the bill....

Either check the front section of your phone book. They usually list all the local services. Or ask the neighbors.

Your local telephone dirctory usually has a map of the areas covered and the respective telephone numbers. Unless they have changed recently

You can ask your realtor or call any realtor, they can cross refernce the tax I.D. in the computer of the old owner and see what all companies serviced that address ultility wise anyway.

There will probably be something on the meters, but why dont you take your supplier with you, you phone them up and tell them your moving to and when and they do all the rest.

Just wait until the bills arrive.
