How to reconnect water and electricity in Spain?

Hi all,

I have recently agreed a long term let on a property in Murcia.

The water & electricity have been disconnected (at the owner's request) as the property has been empty for some time.

How do I go about reconnecting these utilities?

Many thanks

Regards

Dave

I would think it was the owner or agent's responsibility to get the place in order for you to live in.
They are getting the money from the rental and a place can't be lived in without utilities.
I would definitely get the owner or agent to connect the utilities before you move in.

As I'm getting a great deal on the long term rental I have agreed to get the utilities reconnected so just need to know the best way to go about this

Oh I understand.

If they are Iberdrola and Hydraqua you are best to contact them and ask them to re-connect - It does cost but you probably know that :


Hidraqua - water company
Website: http://www.hidraqua.es/en/

Customer service telephone number: 902 250 270


Iberdrola - electricity company
Telephone number : 00 34 916 49 63 30

Hope this helps,

Hi you will have to sign an agreement and as you are not the property owner I am not sure you can do this!! someone may know more, don't hold your breath waiting for connection they can take an age even if you can sign the agreements.

we had to sign a contract, water and electric put in our name all done in a couple of days.

If the water metre and electricity metre are in situ no real problem if not problemo trust me!!
