Ok, so you get the house and you're due to move in. You're going to be living in the Springs and you need to get the power/water on. What do we need document-wise? How quickly do they operate and the rest. Thanks in anticipation of the usual fantastic help.

Far from at ease...

Go to DEWA website, upload a copy of your visa & tenancy agreement. Pay AED 1000 deposit and you should have electricity and water within a few hours.

Correct Maz, expect that for villas the DEWA deposit is AED 2,000.

Muchas gracias- can it really be that simple!?!

It should be. Alternatively you'll need to go an one of the DEWA offices. You'll need the municipality number of the villa too. When I moved a few months ago it just took an hour to so to be sorted out.
