Pylon in the garden

They will have received permission from a previous landowner, you should have flagged this at the point of viewing and having the property surveyed.

Would be nice if just for once a first time poster came back to respond.

Maybe the pole's down and their internet's been cut off.  Still, good news about the gardening.

OP - two things I would do if I were you:

1.  go back to your conveyancing solicitor and complain that they didn't point this out to you at the time of purchase.  Their searches and enquiries of the vendor must have identified the presence of this pylon

2.  why are you posting here?  Post on the House buying and Renting board

Or if you didn't see the pole when viewing,

There are no normal searches or enquiries which are going to reveal a telegraph pole which doesn't have a wayleave/easement attached to it (which, as above, would be the case if it's carrying the wire serving the property).

Nope, OR paid me a wayleave for the telegraph pole on my property that I am fed off. I think it all depends on how many other properties are fed off it

Hi everyone. Thanks for the feedback so far.
it was not identified by the estate agent, the person selling the property, conveyance, and there was a shed covering the lower half of the pole, so when viewing the garden the pole did not look like it was within the land I was buying. It was not until I had the shed removed that I found the pole is on my land. Open reach have agreed that the pole belongs to them, so any help would be appreciated.

You'll have to pay them to remove/resite it, it has been in place for a number of years and unfortunately your mistake that you didn't spot it was within the land you were purchasing.

Wasn’t there any mention of it in the documents to the property?
