We have one adjacent to one corner of our garden and honestly it doesn't worry me at all.

We also have one at the bottom of the next garden, Its quiet but I`m sure I hear it making a low humming noise. Is this likely to be heard/felt through the fabric of your flat?

Is it still legal to take advantgae of these to get free electricity?

A sub station or pylon would be a deal breaker for me. I wouldn't even consider a house with one close by.

There seems to be evidence already that EM radiation can be harmful to some people and I am sure thre will be more studies in the future both for and against .

I wouldn't take the risks personally.

Thanks all, closing date for offers is tomorrow and I don't think we are going to make one. I would rather not risk it, not matter how attractive the flat is!:(
