    Why are you concerned now?

    Nothing with the response.

    You should have quoted this at an earlier point.

    Not really, get back in touch with them and make the query....
    Perhaps it's something you should have been advised of.....

    Perhaps I should have been advised, that still doesn't help me. I'm looking for advice on the current situation.

    Thanks for your input.

    I recently bought and moved into a mid terrace house (second from end). I've just noticed that there's a telephone pole at the end of the street, there's about 10 lines coming from this pole and they all connect to the front of my house. From there they go to all the other houses in the street.....
    A man walked into a car showroom.
    He said to the salesman, “My wife would like to talk to you about the Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    Salesman said, “We haven't got a Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    The man replied, “You have now mate".

    People are trying to help you but they can only do that if they know all the facts.

    We are asking questions to get a better understanding of your situation and your options.

    If you didn't notice the pole and lines until after you moved in, it is possible that they were installed between your last pre-purchase visit and you moving in. Unlikely but possible.

    You may or may not have some comeback against your surveyor or your solicitor etc.

    Your passive aggressive responses to me and others doesn't encourage further offers of advice.

    Some people are trying to help, and I appreciate this. Some of the comments are useless and adding no value.

    If there any facts that I have omitted then I'd be happy to clarify.

    I don't think the lines were installed between my last pre-purchase visit and you moving in. They look like they're been in place a while, and even in need of replacement.

    As recommended, perhaps I'll contact my solicitor and see if there's any legal issues surrounding the lines.

    I'd only like to encourage offers of advice from those who can offer advice, thanks :)
