I am moving house into a previously repossessed property.How do I find out if the property is blacklisted?
The property was repossessed by the previous owners mortgage company!
I don’t know why? But can only presume he hadn’t been paying his bills!
I don’t know if the water, gas, electric etc has been paid?
Will I have to pay these?
How do I reset the alarm system?
The estate agent is as helpful as a glass hammer!
Any help would be very much appreciated!

Your agent should be up on this and representing you. Is he acting as a BUYERS agent? Ask him. If not, get an agent to represent YOU. You need a title search and title insurance. See the Wiki article in my sources.
Dont ever buy reposessed property without it.
Utilities are owed by people, not property. You will be fine with those.
Check on property taxes.
The alarm system will have been turned off by the company that services it. It will probably be unplugged. You may be in luck with that. You may be able to just re-start services. Tell them to come take it out if they want you to pay a up front cost or a long term contract.

If you mean blacklisted by lenders, apply for a mortgage and find out. The other things are routinly done by an experiendced real estate attorney. They check for liens, encumbrances, other title defects, paid water charges. Best not to rely on the lenders attorney fully to represent your interests. Get an Owners Title Insurance Policy. It is good peace of mind. Real estate agents generally represent the seller. While they may be friendy, they are certainly not your friends, in my experience. I find them the most insincere class of people I’ve ever known.
