When we brought our house the estate agent changed everything in to our name. the electric the water etc. That was done before any money was taken from our account. |

Re: electric in pago
As a matter of interest I had a look at the web site of my estate agent. Loads of properties in Marquesado, but, not one mention of legal properties or problems with electricity and water in the area. Strange! Mind you the prices have gone up some since we bought two years ago.

If the meter contract is in your builders, estate agents, previous owner, a bloke you meet in a venta or even the stray dog by the bins name it is ILLEGAL AND YOU WILL BE CUT OFF this is as near to the horses mouth as you will get.do not believe anyone who tells you otherwise. until you have a contract in your name get those candles ready :scared: and if you live in PAGO DEL HUMO, CHICLANA you WILL be next for the CHOP YOU WOULD NOT BUY A HOUSE IN THE U.K WITH OUT A LEGAL ELECTRIC CONTRACT, SO WHY DO IT HERE. |

For all they know the builder could be living there, and even have more than one house (or wife). If the bill is in the builders name but the standing orders are coming out of your account direct to Endesa then how do they reconcile the two ?? I think it can be a lot more complicated than you think....

Subsequent to that another batch of Endesa contractors came along and changed the first meter for a second one which is now MY meter. I think the first one was a builder's meter or something. Don't wait for your builder to change the name ...DIY.

Yes, Out around Venta Raya they have been in with the diggers and torn out 500m + of elec. supply. lines/post etc. Also anyone on a shared meter is now on the hit-list and they are being disconnected too. |
