Pookie go on you tell him! I told him at the time he was being far to harsh.
It is difficult when purchasing abroad and residing in the UK, our friends who have purchased here have been lucky in as much as I have taken meter readings for them when they started to use the properties prior to receipt of Tapu; then I have read them again to ensure that the readings are correct or approx..
Friends have recently moved into a villa which is still using Builders electricity for 2 villas, again I have taken the readings, when and if he demands payment we can work out an approx consumption.
I know this will mean more work for many agents, maybe it should be on a "check" list for buyers to start pushing for.
As for Gordon taking meter readings, well he only knows where the meters are sited, where the trip switches are, and the buttons for the remote control.
As for being ripped off, he has been many times, usually by me..

the first time it took him 18months to find out, and 1 year for the other "rip off" don't mention Chestnut furniture, or watches and clocks, and how time flies! :
