Getting the first month sorted
Four things worth settling before you agree to anything.
Sort water heating and security first
These are the two things that make a new house liveable. Everything else can wait a fortnight.
Ask for a registered electrician for anything on the board
Electrical work affecting the distribution board requires a certificate of compliance. Your conveyancer will have wanted one at transfer, so keep it.
Get quotes in writing, even for small jobs
A verbal price on a callout is how small jobs become large invoices. A one-line WhatsApp quote is still a written quote.
Ask about borehole and tank water
Many coastal and small-town properties run partly off tanks or a borehole. Find out what yours does, and who services the pump, before you need to know.

Common questions
Slower than in a metro, particularly in December and January when the population of towns like Hermanus swells. Build a relationship with one before you have an emergency.
Many semigrating families do it in year two rather than month one, after they have lived through a winter and know their actual consumption.
Different, not necessarily less. Ask neighbours which armed-response company actually has vehicles in your street, rather than assuming the biggest brand covers it.
Look for a gardener who specifically knows indigenous planting. Fynbos wants poor soil and no fertiliser, and a well-meaning general gardener can kill an established bed in a season.
