Pre completion questions

wessexw

Hope to exchange today with completion Friday next week. Just realised that I need to know about the service providers (gas, electricity) for the place I'm moving in to, and other useful info such as where the stopcock is etc.

What the usual way of finding out this info - asking the EA to get the details or is it by some other process?

Thanks!

I've always left a note when selling for the new buyers. Suggest you get the EA to ask your vendor to do the same.

Some of it, at least, should be in the property information form - which you should have read before exchanging...

It was on the last page of the property information form that should have been filled out by the seller
It asks who is the provider for gas/electric/water/phone/cable etc etc
Well it was on mine I moved in the last month

Nope, I didn't have one of those, just a fixtures and fittings list

I'd speak to your solicitor. I would always expect a Property Information Form along with the fixtures & fittings which will mention who the providers are. If not then they can put the quesitons across to the other side who I'm sure will be happy to answer.

Best still go round for a final viewing after exchange. I am goign around tonight as completing next week to find out about the central heating system and alarm etc. The service provider info will be on the property info forms though.

Just rang the sol and he says there is one - I don't remember ever seeing it though so he's sending on a copy.

Thanks for the help everyone

We got nowt - guy was selling a house he'd never lived in (he'd bought it for his kid to live in who'd then moved on). Thankfully between us already living in an identical house further down the road, and having a neighbour who was a builder who'd worked on half the houses in the street we figured out where everything was!
Boiler has operating instructions printed on the panel that covers the controls - might be worth checking if anything's there on yours if needs be.

Just realised that I need to know about the service providers (gas, electricity) for the place your conveyancer should have sent you a Property Information Form, being a questionnaire completed by the Seler, in which it states the utility companies. I'm moving in to, and other useful info such as where the stopcock you will soon enough find it when you move in is etc.
