Change of account holder in Orihuela Costa
Put the electricity in your name in Orihuela Costa.
You've bought or rented and the electricity is still in the previous owner's name. We put it in your name with no power cut and no trips to any office.
We cover La Zenia, Playa Flamenca, Villamartín, Cabo Roig, Campoamor and nearby, also for buyers from abroad, and we explain everything in English. We also check the power and tariff, which are often badly set by the previous owner.
What you need
The documents for the change of holder.
Passport or NIE
Of the new holder. If you don't have your NIE yet, tell us what you have and we'll tell you what each supplier accepts.
Deeds or rental contract
The deeds (escritura) or land registry note if you bought, or the rental contract if you rent.
CUPS number
It's on any old bill. If you don't have one, we'll help you find it.
Bank account
The IBAN of the account where you want the bills to be paid.
Photo of the meter
Optional, but it stops the previous holder's usage ending up on your first bill.
Electrical certificate, only sometimes
If the installation is very old or the supply has been off for a long time, the network operator may ask for a certificate from an authorised electrician. We'll tell you at the start.
How it works
No queues, no power cuts.
Send us the documents
By WhatsApp or through the website. Phone photos are fine.
We check power and tariff
Before the change, so you don't keep the previous owner's settings if they don't suit you.
We handle it
With the supplier and the network operator. We let you know when it's done.
Our service is free
We are paid a commission by the supplier only if you switch tariff with us. If any step has a cost (more power or a certificate), we tell you first.
FAQ
Questions about changing the holder in Orihuela Costa.
Do I need the previous owner?
Usually not. The deeds, land registry note or rental contract plus the supply details are normally enough.
Will the power be cut during the change?
No. Changing the holder is paperwork only: the house keeps its power the whole time and the meter stays the same.
Can you do it if I live outside Spain?
Yes. Everything is done remotely: send us the documents by WhatsApp or email and sign on your phone.
Does it cost anything?
If the power isn't changed, the supplier usually doesn't charge for a change of holder. Our service is free for you.
What if I only use the house in summer?
We take it into account when choosing power and tariff: in a holiday home the fixed charge weighs most, and it's paid even when the house is empty.
