Answer 1

Hi

Once the agreement has been signed, either the agent or landlord will have taken readings of gas and electric and contacted the relevant companies, including the council tax, water and any phone companies. But if I was you, I would take your own readings and contact the companies, just to ensure everything is ok.

You will then be billed from that day, you can set up monthly payments for most utilities, then at least you know you will not get a huge bill.

Good luck

Answer 2

They'll start billing you monthly from the date you transfer the utilities.

Answer 3

Generally, the utilities are read on a certain date when a new resident will be assuming responsibility for them. That would be 9/12 in this case. Typically, they need to hear from both the new and old residents in order to make the arrangements.

Then, the old resident will get a final bill through 9/12 and you will get a bill with the usage from 9/12 to whenever the account cycles.

I hope this makes sense.

Answer 4

your bills will be prorated from the day you tell them you are taking over service
