    If you’ve used a good solicitor to do your conveyancing, there should be a General Adjustment Sheet which shows adjustments for strata levies, council rates and water rates (not usage). Effectively you pay from the date of settlement. However, if a quarterly sum was not paid in advance you might be due a proportional refund from the vendor. There should have been meter readings for power and gas; the energy supplier will bill the former owner up to settlement date.

    If you used someone else to do your conveyancing, the above might not apply.
