Hi all! I'll be closing this Wednesday on a home, but will still be living in my condo until June 1st. When should I be calling up the utility companies to get everything transferred over? Today? Tomorrow? Wednesday?
Do I just call them up and tell them I'll need the bill to go to me now? Do you think they'd pull a credit check on me since I'm now trying to have utilities going on TWO properties at once?
Just trying to get some advice on how to proceed... This is my first time buying a house!
Thank you in advance.
Well, the way I've always done it is that you simply ask them to transfer your service from one place to another on the day you're going to move in. If you're moving out of a an apartment or something like it, usually, the utilities will then transfer back to the owner of the property at that time. That's the way it's always worked for me...and I've never had a credit check from anyone but Verizon when i signed up for Fios last summer.
You can call them today and verify with them.
I called the week before we closed and had them transfered over the day we closed, but I did keep the power on at my apartment till we moved out. I will be getting to electric bills this month.
