Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 16, 2015 2:36 pm We are at the 'abolishment of services' stage. Both gas & electricity are with Dodo. Do we go directly to United Energy for both? Or through retailer also - due to final bill arrangement? What about Foxtel & Bigpond internet? Water? Re: Bayside Knockdown Rebuild 2Feb 09, 2016 8:54 pm can i please ask .. we also are in the middle of knock down rebuild.. and when exactly do you start the abolishment???? do you do it only once your loan is approved, and the council approval is granted for the build, or basically just as soon as possible? and before the demo.. its all very confusing Re: Bayside Knockdown Rebuild 3May 15, 2016 10:47 pm we had all services fully abolished 3 months ago, and we're nowhere knocking down the old house yet... guarantees you don't get any unexpected bills!

The abolishment our utilities was completed about 3 weeks ago and received our asset protection permit around the same time. Our demolition will start in the next 1/2 weeks after the asbestos removal. We have done all this whilst we are still the final stages of signing the contract with our builder.
