Municipal Account Verification

Municipal account verification services for property buyers, sellers, agents, and attorneys. We verify municipal electrical and water meter readings, check for illegal connections, and ensure accurate billing. Essential for property transfers and dispute resolution with municipalities.

Municipal accounts get verified for one simple reason: they're wrong far more often than they should be. We've seen properties billed on a neighbour's meter, billed on estimates for months after a meter was replaced, billed for consumption after a property stood empty, and billed for water that never entered the property. On a property transfer, those errors become the buyer's problem unless they're caught first.

Our verification is a physical exercise, not a paperwork exercise. We go to the property, take the actual meter readings, check the meter number against the account, inspect for illegal connections or bypasses, and pull the consumption history to see whether the pattern matches the property's reality. If something doesn't add up, we document it properly — attorneys and conveyancers need a report they can use, not a phone call.

We work alongside estate agents, conveyancers and buyers on a regular basis, and we're used to the deadlines that come with a property transfer. The verification report is delivered in time for the clearance application, and if there's a dispute to lodge, we provide the supporting documentation and stay involved until the account is corrected.
