A buyer’s example
Check what it takes to restore water and electricity
A vacant Lyublen house might still have meters while the taps and lights are off. Ask when the owner last used the supplies and what they did before leaving. Ask them to help the operators identify the accounts for that address. Record which supply needs to be turned on in the house and which question requires the operator to confirm the next step.
Ask a tradesperson to look at the house installation separately from the question of supply. If you want a usable bathroom and kitchen by a certain date, include the time to restore services, test the equipment and carry out repairs. Compare that date with a property you can see operating and with any temporary stay you would need.
