PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

  • It would put off future purchasers. It would me. Plus if it was as easy as the developers said, they would have snapped off the electricity companies hands off to buy the land and not have this problem next door.

     Has anyone come across this scenario?  We’ve decided for us that if we can’t acquire the land that’s a deal breaker for us.  We have two small children and don’t want to take the risk.  
    Out here in the country, people have their own. Ours is neatly  concealed behind the neighbour's house. Their 3  kids have all turned out weird, so that's major statistical evidence there's risk involved, though whether it's the transformer to blame, or simply a risk inherent in being conceived by them, is open to debate.
