Phuket Property Utility Handover

Legal transfer does not automatically deliver working utilities or control of every account. Build a utility handover file before the seller leaves and before the final balance is released.

Handover file

• List every electricity, water, internet, gas and shared-estate account serving the property.
• Photograph meter serial numbers and readings at the agreed handover time.
• Reconcile recent invoices, arrears, deposits, direct debits and any landlord or developer sub-meter.
• Confirm the provider's current documents for changing customer name, billing contact or tariff.
• Test account logins, emergency contacts, shut-off points and backup systems.
• Record who owns equipment and deposits, and hold an agreed amount until unresolved balances are cleared.

Use the villa utility-capacity guide, handover checklist, buy service and property management.

Provider documents, deposits, tariffs, meter ownership, transfer timing and arrears procedures change and differ for direct and estate-supplied services. Confirm each account with its provider and contract parties.
