Overhead electricity cables close to the house?

Just because a cable is buried does not mean it doesn't radiate any EMF's - good evidence that many of the problems are psychosomatic or at least irrationally attributed. Remember a few years ago when people were selling those things to stick on your mobile phone to 'protect' you from the radio waves? They actually made the phone have to work harder (ie higher power emissions) than without! Beware of hand-wavey pseudoscience of anyone trying to sell you something (including a philosophy)

Looks a bit like the pole and wires we have close by. In fact we charge the Western Power rent for having the pole on our land!

Now high voltage ones are an entirely different story and I personally would not buy a property however nice if they were in the vicinity.

We have one of these only 20ft from the end of our house. Also 2 others on our land. They are normal domestic voltage supplies, and without them many rural villages wouldn't have power!

If it was high voltage pylons you might have something to worry about, but nothing wrong here.

Reminds me of my local carboot/market. Down the bottom field which DH will not walk round, has over head cables, and they bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz very loud! It's pretty scary..

Most villages, and places in the countryside are supplied by overhead cables rather than underground ones, nothing wrong with them. My parents have lived cables like that for 30 years.

If it was a metal plyon carrying thousands of volts I might be more concerned, but these look like just 240V cables, plus a telephone wire.
