Frequently asked questions

What utilities do you need to set up when you move house?
When you move in, sort the essentials promptly so nothing builds up unbilled in your name. For energy, find out who currently supplies the property (ask the seller, landlord or agent), take meter readings on the day you move in (photograph them), and set up an account — you can switch to a cheaper deal once you're settled. Contact the water company, and register with your local council for council tax (and check the band). Order broadband early, as installation can take a couple of weeks. Update or set up your TV licence if you watch live TV. And don't forget the wider essentials: make sure your home and contents insurance is live from day one, locate the stopcock, fuse box and meters, and check the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms work. A checklist keeps it all on track during a hectic time.
