Hello Barry

We seem to have succeded with pushing the process forward and should have all the paperwork sorted by the end of this month, but as usual in such a complex process the are more questions to ask ( Hope you still don't mind)

1. As for transferring the utility bill over to your name you said the authority did it for you fairly soon after the house was purchased, how does it work exactly? Do we need to approach the council ourselves somehow or contact each of the utility companies separately?
2. And how did you know how much the annual tax on the house whould be? WE were advised by HAI to employ an accountant there, but as you might guess we whouldn't be really happy with that ( bearing in mind our experience with HAI)

Cheers!
