Housing
When you've moved in
Council Tax
Tell your local council when you move in to a non-service home so that you're registered to pay council tax. Council tax is based on the value of the property whether renting or buying. For detailed information visit Council Tax - Moray or Council Tax - Highland
Utilities
Domestic water and waste water charges are collected with your council tax on behalf of Scottish Water.
Gas, electricity, oil, internet and telephone landline - tell existing suppliers of the date you move in, take meter readings and send them to the supplier so you're not charged for the previous occupier's use. If possible take a photograph of the meter in case of dispute.
