AI summary
When buying a home, organise your utilities well in advance—ideally starting a month or two before you move.
First, check if your current providers can transfer services to your new address. If not, compare new options using independent tools like Powerswitch to find the best local deals.
Have your personal details and ID ready to streamline the sign-up process. Schedule installation at least two weeks before your move-in day to ensure everything is connected and working.
