It is the sellerīs responsibility to provide receipts for the
utilities and taxes. This
allows your lawyer to change the details into your name. All
services are normally paid by standing order by your bank and
the lawyer will pass this information on to Telefonica,
Iberdrola (electricity), Amjasa (water) and also handle any
gas or oil contracts.
If
the property is part of a Community or Urbanisation, a
Certificate must also be obtained from the Administrators to
show the Community fees have been paid and are up to date
prior to completion. These standing orders also need to be
arranged by your lawyer.
There
is normally a nominal charge of 100 for the above
arrangements. This we recommend as it is much simpler than
trying to do this yourselves.
