A reason to buy it if the pylon doesn't bother the OP, and the price is discounted.Andypandyboy wrote: »and you will want to sell it on.
A reason not to buy it, as this thread shows.
FWIW I looked at a house with a bloody great pylon in the garden, put me right off. It was a lovely canal-side cottage too, well maintained. Couldn't understand why it was cheap enough for me, then I found out.
The house I *did* buy had a flaw in it too - but I intend to stay there for many years, so difficulty of re-selling not necessarily an issue for me. It was also why my house had been on the market for a while. I watched the price come down and down and down...
In the individual sense, it's what any owner can put up with. My limit was a pylon in my garden! If I was intending to move on within half a dozen years I might stop and think about a discounted house (as I might end up living there longer than I'd like!) but, if not and the OP isn't like me, they could conceivably pick up a bargain.0 -
Not sure about the health risks. But is definitley harder to sell a property with a pylon in/near. Also sub-stations put a lot of people off.0
