Can anyone offer advise please.

Our friends are moving into a property in July. The previous owners have "left" and the electric is still in their name. They had several properties with electric in their name. There is a concern that if the bill is not paid on one of those properties then Kibtec will disconnect all properties in the same name - not sure if this is true.

Is there any way that i can change the name from the previous owners to my firends in her absence or does she have to wait until she gets here to do it herself ? For both instances what is the procedure/paerwork/fees required ? Does it matter that the original "owner" is not around to sign it over ?

i have looked at other threads but they seem to concentrate on changing from builders name to owners name in new build situation.

thanks

Kib-Tek mistakingly put our neighbours name to our meter, we had to go to the offices in Girne with our Contract, Kocan, passports to get it changed into our names. But and there is always a but, they had to send someone out to make sure that our meter which had been put in our neighbours name did actually feed our property.



It was slightly easier for us though as we had only just come off from builders electric and had not had any bills from Kib-Tek at that point.



This was last year and the procedure may have changed. Good Luck!

I had to go change the name on ours last month. They needed my passport, the contract (haven't got PtP yet so no Kocan) and a deposit of 280tl - make sure you keep receipt for this safe as you need it for refund if you ever sell the property.

Go upstairs at Kibtec and ask to speak to Hassain - very nice man who speaks good english!

The house next to us was bought by an 87 year old TC. He had to attend the Kib-Tek office in person to get the name changed to his, they would not allow one of his family to do it.

That was in 2007, the rules may have changed by now.

It has always been that only the owner/ person named on the contract or kocan is the only person who can change the bill into another name and you have to produce your passport and this is the name they put on the bill.

Copies of everything for them to keep too! As long as the bill is paid they will not query until the owner can do it.
