At the Start of theTenancy
What about the transfer of utilities?
Under normal circumstances, with all long let tenancies the payment of utility charges
and council tax will be the responsibility of your tenant. We work with a number of utility
transfer companies who assist with the transfer process, as well as offering the
opportunity for your tenant to choose a provider and offer a tailored tariff that best suits
them. Tenantshave complete freedom of choice.
It is important that you ensure your obligations for the transfer and payment of utility
charges and council tax are met, as neither we nor any of the transfer companies we use
accept liability for unpaid accounts.
