PROPERTY VERIFICATION
Check EB, water and other property dues
A working EB or water connection does not prove ownership or approval. It may still carry arrears, deposits, transfer requirements or another person’s account.
01
Direct answer
List every property-linked account, match its service identity to the site, review current and earlier dues, and ask the provider or association for a written no-due note or current account statement where available.
02
Where this check applies
- Electricity, water, sewerage, drainage, maintenance, association or other service accounts connected to the property.
- The provider and transfer process depend on the location, service and property type.
03
What the record usually shows
- Service or consumer number
- Provider, service address and account name
- Meter or connection details
- Latest bill, payment and outstanding amount
- Deposit, transfer or reconnection requirements
- Association or maintenance account status where applicable
04
What to compare it with
- Meter and service number at the site
- Service address and property identity
- Account holder and seller explanation
- Current bill plus a useful payment history
- Written no-due note or account statement where issued
05
Check it step by step
Keep the source, date and property identity with every result.
- Make a complete account list
Include EB, water, sewerage, drainage, maintenance, association and any service tied to the property.
- Photograph the service identity
Record meter numbers, consumer numbers and connection details at the site.
- Open each official provider route
Use the current provider or local-body service and verify the account directly.
- Review more than one receipt
Check current balance, arrears, disputed charges, deposits and a useful payment period.
- Match the account to the property
Compare the address, meter, service number and holder with the site and transaction documents.
- Ask for no-due notes
Request a written no-due note or current statement from each provider or association where that document is issued.
- Write transfer conditions into completion
Record who clears arrears, supplies the final bill, obtains signatures and completes each transfer.
06
Official website and office
Use the current government service and ask the authority or local body that applies to the property.
If a portal result is unavailable, do not assume the seller copy is correct. Take the complete document to the issuing office.
07
What this record does not prove
- An EB, water or sewerage connection does not prove ownership.
- A paid utility bill does not prove building or layout approval.
- One receipt does not prove that all earlier dues are cleared.
- A no-due note does not replace title, tax or approval checks.
08
Stop on these mismatches
- Meter or consumer number does not match the site
- Service address identifies another property
- Account holder difference is unexplained
- Arrears, deposit or disconnection status is unclear
- Association or maintenance dues are not confirmed in writing

COMMON QUESTIONS
Check EB, water and other property dues FAQs
One approval or receipt is not a complete property verification.
Does an EB connection prove ownership?
No. A utility connection is a service record, not a title document.
What no-due notes should I ask for?
Ask each applicable utility, local body or association for its current account statement or written no-due confirmation where it issues one.
Should dues be handled in the sale agreement?
Record who clears each account, supplies the final bill and completes the transfer before or at completion.
