Frequently asked questions

Why re-register the utility bills if the property is already in my name?

The formal change of the owner and payer of utility services is necessary to avoid fines, disconnections, or the accumulation of debts from the previous owner. This protects you legally and financially.

What to do if the previous owner has unpaid bills?

Before starting the procedures, it is advisable to check for any debts. If there are any outstanding debts, the providers may refuse to transfer the accounts until they are fully paid. We help resolve this by submitting the necessary requests.

What is the list of documents required for re-registration?

Usually, a copy of the title deed, the new owner's ID, the bank account number, and the old contract details are required.

Is it important to include the Spanish NIE or DNI number in the contracts?

Yes, providers often require an identification number for registration. If you are a foreigner, use the NIE. This is necessary for the legitimate formalization of contracts.

Is it necessary to change the electricity or water meter?

In most cases, it is not necessary to change the meters themselves. It is enough to re-register their accounts. If the meters are outdated or do not meet the standards, the provider may require replacement, but these are rare cases.

What should I do if the supplier demands unclear payments?

We investigate the basis for these charges and, if necessary, dispute any unjust charges or restructure the debt, if any.

Do I need to re-register the services if I buy an apartment through a mortgage?

Yes, the change of property owner and the mortgage transaction are different processes. To avoid confusion, utilities are registered either immediately after the transaction or simultaneously with it.

Can the contracts be left under the old owner's name to save time?

Technically, some providers may allow this, but you risk facing payment issues as well as legal issues when changing ownership. It is recommended to officially transfer everything to the new owner.

Is it necessary to sign a new contract with the provider, or is it enough to make changes to the old one?

It depends on the policy of the specific company. In some places, it is enough to make changes to the existing contract, while in others, a completely new contract in your name is required.

Can the rate or the terms of the contract be changed during the re-registration process?

Yes, when changing the owner, you have the option to immediately choose the most suitable rate or conditions offered by the provider. We will suggest the most optimal options to avoid overpaying.

How to avoid service disconnections during the re-registration process?

We coordinate all steps with the suppliers in advance, notify them about the change of ownership, and ensure there is no interruption in service. This is especially important if you plan to move immediately after the purchase.

If I want to rent out the property, will the re-registration affect the rental terms?

Usually no. The important thing is that the utility bills are in your name or the tenant's name (by agreement). At the same time, the official owners must be in the supplier's database.

How can I find out which tariff is currently applied to me?

After the re-registration, you will receive a copy of the contract and details about the current tariff. We check in advance that everything is up to date and there are no hidden surcharges, so you understand the final cost.
