Post by: pattaya on February 24, 2012, 12:57:28 PM: Help... would welcome some input on how to transfere water & electric bills into my Name . As i'm being told i have to pay £250 to do so this seems very high to me ? is there a set fee or is it down to developer ?

[1] probably he will not pay them so you risk the chance of being disconnected and

[2] if they are still on builders rates those rates are considerably higher than domestic rates

Was just trying to find out if there was a standard charge, or are you just in the hands of your developer. If it was the case that the electric company charge a set amont I could just go along myself and sort it all.

Thank you for your help

Also please please make sure that all bills are paid up fully before the transfer as otherwise you may find yourself inheriting your builders current costs :(
