I've bought a detached house and I'm moving in. Is it enough for me to sign an electricity contract for my new address?

It is not enough to sign an electricity contract. In real estate deals, it is important to keep in mind that the electricity and district heating connections are movable property and do not automatically transfer to the new owner. The transfer of the subscriptions is therefore always worth mentioning in the deed of sale. Without a valid written explanation, we cannot transfer the connection contract. In this case, the buyer may have to enter into a new connection contract and pay a connection fee in accordance with the price list.

Please provide us the with transfer document, which can be a separate transfer document, a copy of the deed of sale or share certificate, or an extract from the estate inventory deed stating that the property will be transferred to a new owner. Notify us about the change of ownership as soon as possible after it has taken place, so that the connections and contracts can be transferred to the new owner.
