Whether buying or selling, you need to notify all your and utility companies of your move. Our office can assist with some, but not all cancellations (due to privacy policies of other companies).

TAXES: When buying a new home, Mister Real Estate Lawyer will write to the town to request that you be listed as the new home owner on the closing date. However, we strongly advise that prior to closing, you follow up with the town to confirm. You will only be responsible for payments from the Closing Date onward.

CABLE TELEVISION, TELEPHONE & INTERNET SERVICE: Please contact your telephone and internet service providers and advise them of your move and to arrange for the disconnecting and transfer of service.

UTILITIES & HYDRO: Call your local Utility and Hydro company to request a final reading of your meters be done on the closing date. However, we strongly advise that prior to closing, you follow up with the utility companies to confirm. You will only be responsible for payment of utility accounts payments from the closing date onward.
