[请求] 请问买了房后，接下来

[honeypig]

请问大家买了房后，找律师办好了所有文件后，在你搬进去之前，有那些部门要打电话去换名字呢？？比如说， HYDRO OF OTTAWA 这些， 还有哪些呢？？本人正在愁着，谢谢大家的帮忙，刚刚买了房子，什么都不懂。

你的律师给你换名字，自己什么电话都不用打。(我家是新房）

这些事，大多由律师办了。需要自己办的，律师也该给客户讲清楚，不应有遗漏。

从这些小事，能看出一个律师是不是负责。找个好律师，这些事根本不用操心，你会觉得买房挺容易的。若碰上个差些的律师，自己就得费心费力，搞不好还会出差错。

My experience suggested to call all the utilities (Enbridge, Ottawa Hydro, and Water) before your closing day to confirm they have received instructions to open a service account for you and to do a meter reading on the day you legally proceed the new home.

My lawyer only sent faxes to the utilities, there was no gurantee they received it or not. It ended up only one company received the fax. I was not happy with the lawyer's service.

As soon as you take procession of the new home (the closing day), record down all the meter readings (Enbridge gas meter, located in front of the house or on the side of the house; Ottawa hydro, located on the side of the house, and Water meter, located in the basement). There are usually a chance for mistakes to be made during transition. You will need these meter readings in case of dispute with the utilities providers.

Lawyers will not arrange phone, internet, and cable TV services for you. You have to arrange it yourself.
