Thanks, however it still doesn't answer my question.

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

Since you don't seem to like any of the answers then go and waste your money on a solicitor, they'll be more than happy to take it.

That's me offering advice BTW

Why do you think it would be a waste of money if I was to contact a solicitor? I actually liked that answer

Because you/they are unlikely to get Openreach to remove the cables from your property and clutter another house with them, or dig the neighbourhood up to put the cables underground.

The Post Office, then BT, now Openreach, have a long history of pretty much putting wires where they want. But good luck trying to persuade them.

On reading the first part of your post there is a tantalising hint, a mere whiff, of exciting things to come, Unfortunately, the main body of your question is lost in a rambling, rather meandering sub analysis of historical rhetoric. This partial let down is mitigated by an unexpected and slightly disturbing question at the conclusion though your clever manipulation of the humorous sub plot is nothing short of a literary masterpiece.
