Move-In Guide for Ireland

Congratulations on moving into your new home! The following guide is designed to provide you with useful local and national information to help you settle into your new home and location.

INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PROPERTY Setting up utility payments If you wish to seek independent information on these utilities, I can recommend that you use the following websites for comparative purposes:

+ www.bonkers.ie + www.switcher.ie

When setting up any payments, be sure to have the MPRN/GPRN numbers to hand as you will need to provide/confirm your full property address and metre readings. This information will be given to you by the letting agent/landlord the day of the check in. The most common method of bill payment in Ireland is via a Direct Debit. If you do not set up a direct debit payment the utility company will request a €300.00 deposit to be paid. A Direct Debit is an instruction from you to your bank, authorizing the organization you wish to pay to collect the agreed amount. If this is a method you choose, the supplier will provide you with the necessary information to complete this set up. You should receive a Welcome Letter from each supplier within 2-3 weeks of moving in, although this does vary with each supplier. If you do not receive any information from the supplier, please let me know. Each Welcome Letter will provide you with options of how to pay your bill. It is recommended that you call the supplier or go online to set up your desired method of payment and frequency. Telephone TV and Internet : Depending on the provider available at your property, we may be able to support with your set up particularly if you choose Virgin Media as we have a dedicated Account Manager. Please let me know if you need assistance with the set up. Set up can take longer than hoped and with working from home so important in today's world, should you need an internet connection in your new home before the permanent Wi-Fi can be set up, you can purchase a mobile broadband hotspot or dongle from one of the mobile phone networks and simply top it up and connect it to your devices.

Post Should you receive any post for the previous tenant, please redirect it to An Post, labelled “not known at this address”.

TV Licence In Ireland it is mandatory to have a TV licence while you are resident in your property. You must have a TV License if you watch or record programs on a TV or computer or any other device as they are being broadcast i.e., ‘live’ or if you are watching live, catch up TV or downloading content. To obtain a TV License, please visit: https://www.tvlicence.ie/Homepage.aspx Failure to comply can result in legal prosecution and or a fine up to €1000. If you have any queries on this, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Insurance Please also note for rental properties that the Landlord is only responsible for insuring their own possessions with that property. You are responsible for insuring your own personal belongings and effects. Please be advised Dwellworks can arrange for an Insurance Broker to provide competitive quotes for both renters and car insurance. Please let me know I will gladly refer your details. Waste Collection For private homes you will need to arrange with a provider to set up an account for your garbage disposal. Your Dwellworks contact can advise on how to transfer this account into your name. Generally, for apartment complex’s waste is included in the rental amount, but the letting agent/landlord will need to confirm this. Please ensure that you are shown where the bins are located, in the complex at the handover of the property. Water Water is on at the property. Currently water charges are suspended so you will not receive any bills for water. Your agent/landlord needs to confirm with you at the check in if you are required to register with Irish Water. If you are, they will provide you with the WPRN number for this. Please see link https://www.water.ie/customer-registration/how-to-register/. If you have any questions you can call Irish Water on 1890 448 448 or an alternative number is 01 707 2824. Parking Parking may or may not be included with your property – this will be specified on the lease document. If parking is NOT included, it is important to follow the parking regulations in the location of your property as many clamping companies are in operation in Ireland. If you are unsure of the parking regulations at your new home, please ask your property agent or landlord for clarification before parking your car. If a parking space IS allocated, please ensure that you are shown the location of your space at the property handover to ensure you are using exactly the correct space. It is your responsibility to park in the correct designated location as outlined by the property agent or landlord.
