*Ni mitz holes not included.
We closed yesterday afternoon at 3:00 , we expected to get done after 5, which is what happened. W e gave the sellers a $100 credit to leave the utilities in their name until Tuesday, they never looked at the contract and their realtor never mentioned the credit to them. They had all the utilities turned off yesterday before we closed. We got the water turned on, but the electric will be off until at least Monday when the electric company is open and I can call them. We started moving today with no A/C, it was 90 degrees here today. On the bright side it wasn’t very humid and there was a decent breeze, it really wasn’t too bad.
Anyway, no more renting FTW!!

Congrats! Dont be like me and wait til you've been living there for 2 years before you buy any fire extinguishers. I put 1 in my kitchen, 1 in the garage and 1 in the workshop just to be safe.

Congrats! I’ve never heard of the seller leaving utilities in their name, but shame on the realtor for not picking up on that. Every place I’ve been to it’s been automated, just out your info on an application online and you’re done.

?
In the U.K, we leave the utilities in place, the renters/sellers phone in or send the final meter reading online to the relevant companies. The new tennents/owners can remain with the same utility companies*, or change over by phoning a new company, setting up an account and the new company will close the old accounts for you.
*simply phoning, giving them the meter reading and their bank details.
The cold water is almost never turned off here.
Congrats on the new house.

Nice! Too many neighbors :P
Glad you had an easy time with the utilities . Took 2 months tryi ng to get the electricity on my name. Previous owners didn’t pay the bill for 3 months before I bought the house. Fraud protection I guess. Meter man never turn the lights off though :)
Don’t forget to file for homestead exemption, save on property taxes!

Same for me, the whole deal was weird though.
We were supposed to close this coming Monday, this past Tuesday the sellers decided they had to close yesterday. According to them they had already set up the utilities to turn off this coming Tuesday, the day after the original c losing day, and they w ouldn’t have time to change it, because they were moving. W ith them saying that my realtor and their realtor decided on the credit.
Obviousily though, t hey did change something because they shut off yesterday, but the utilities are still in their names, I tried doing it online, since it was too late to call when we got done but , the electric and sewer companies websites both said I couldn’t register for that address online because it was registered to someone already and I had to call to set it up.

There is the possibility of a toy or a home gym in between the storage area and Mrs. blacktruck's parking spot.

That’s funny about the neighbors, I said the same thing. T o Mrs. blacktruck we live in the country be cause she can see a corn field from one window upstairs.
Ya, the title company and my realtor said that something about the exemption about 30 times yesterday.

That’s excellent, I’m still waiting to do the last 1/3 of mine before winter. Been in the house since the new year. So you’re doing well.
