When buying an apartment, it is important to make sure that the previous owner has paid off all debts for utility bills.

Experts emphasize that when purchasing real estate, it is necessary to make sure that the previous owner has no debts , otherwise you can accidentally “buy” his debts. It is also important that the sales contract clearly states that you, as the new owner of the home, do not assume any obligations to pay the old debts.

In order to renew the contract, you need to contact the service provider. For example, to change a personal account for gas supply, you should contact the nearest service center of the supplier, providing copies of:

• passport;
• taxpayer registration number;
• a document confirming ownership of real estate;
• a technical passport for the property;
• an extract from the register of rights to real estate, if there is no meter;
• a certificate from administrative services center with a list of family members;
• printed photo of the meter.
