Right

So I am looking for houses, found a nice semi, 3 bed, big drive way, 2 garages, extended, no chain, mortgage in repossesion so its quite cheap given market and so on.

Then you look on the aerial view and theres an electricity pilon.




Views?

 

Theres no real government recognized proof that pylons are a health hazard. Sure might knock a bit of value off house but not much.

Some people claim to be sensitive to EM fields and all that bollocks but either you believe in that stuff or you dont.

 

BUY IT JAKE PLEASE

The powerfield it is emitting may stop your fucking snoring..................

 

Its cheap at £115k anyways.. and I quite fancy using the pilon to attempt to get some more money off it...

More thoughts....

Personally... I was hoping it would cure my snoring too...

 

Nah that would put me off, sorry.

Looks wise i wouldnt care, but health wise, hmmmmm

 

worked with scottish power for years in substations and under pylons and im fine apart from the slight twitches and the growth on the back off my head sounds like a bargin mate go for it

 

heard things years ago about them but i would not worry about it imo.

do your best to get it cheap as you can Jake.

 

Wonderful

 

does they not buzz at times?


sure i have heard this before

 

Apparently they are noisy when wet, and I just wouldn't risk it, no proof of a connection, but worth the risk??

Imagine it will always be hard to sell also as that is as close as you get lol!!!

 

i know someone that swears living next to a pylon has caused her to suffer from bad headaches. who know for sure but the government certainly wouldnt admit it.

 

Get some jump leads out and bobs your uncle...free power


** This is a joke, you will die if you go near the lines

 

From the front someone house and garden, From the back a bush and a big metal structure

Our kids old house was next to a pylon, no real issues, after a while you get used to it and dont really notice it.

 

For me personally I couldn't care less especially if I can get it for "peanuts"

Its just the general consensus for re sale..

To me its like buying a cat d car..... buy cheap to sell cheap... they have to go somewhere...

Prob I see is its a good family home- but I might not be able to sell to a family lol

 

I wouldn't want to live that close to a pylon, it'd give me the heebie jeebies.

 

Glad you cleared that one up there Simon.. cheers

 

wouldf put m e off a bit. But its a nice house by sounds for the money! Two garages

 

My personal opinion is, if its not going to affect your health and its cheap then bloody go for it!

 

ive lived in front of a electrical sub station my whole life, never once thought about it, and im fineish! not quite the same as a fuck off pylon, but with 2 garages and a semi for 115k, it sounds cheap! offer them 100k and see what happens!

 

Go for it

You will get more EM energy from a mobile phone or microwave or a TV (tube type)

 

garden easily sorted though.

 

Shings with repos, dont you have to chuck a bid in and then they go in paper and wait for other bids too? I went to one before in disirable area and it was a fookin nightmare. House ended up going for 30k more, than expecting.

 

Yeh

Been extended over the garage and looks like theres another on to the left too...

 

Also dont people trash the houses with repos?? or have people finally realised thats a false economy??

 

I'm not too up on it... but I think you bang in a bid and if its accepted they have to publish in the local paper that they've had an offer - Mortgages in Possession Act or somet and there is 7 days in which other people need to offer higher bids.

 

Agreed, go for it.

Get yourself a ferriday" cage .....

 

Looks like I'd better take the surveying tape with me and measure the 50m buffer Zone..

 

Yeah thats it, just to let you know can be a nightmare. Was with the one i tried before. But becuase the market has worsend a lot since you might have better luck. The other thing to consider with buying repo mate is you need the funds very quick if offer is accepted so also another thing to bare in mind. Speak to the estate agents etc before putting a offer with the terms etc.

 

It was probably reposessed because they were too ill to work and keep up the repayments.

 

In two cases, the cancer-causing pollutants were recorded 500 metres from power cables, they say in the International Journal of Radiation Biology.

 

i like it, go for it i would

 

WIll do, I called about one the other day and she said it was a cash only sale but they do have repo's that aint... so I suppose as a FTB I can still have one...
But somet to consider.

 

Go and talk to all the neigbours
If there all monged up walk away
Quickly

 

Yeah just speak to them mate, you can get bargain buying repo but they are bit more of nightmare to buy. I'm no expert but have tried buying and found it a pain. As said if want any info drop me pm anytimes mate and will try help out what i can.


House buying is a pain, and so is then doing them up. Freaking houses who have them lol.

 

hmmm i dunno, not sure if the pilon would put me off, or that fact it looks like a council estate?

 

I live in "north solihull" ( in case Tiff is watching ) its like one big council estate.

Not really much you can do unless you wanna pay silly money that I dont have..

I missed a 3 bed detached house in an ok area today for £120k.. on a corner plot, the potential was awesome..

 

Lee comments like that from you surprise me especially after your Labour loving, coal mining loving etc ways.

Not everyone can afford 200k plus for first house! Looks bloody great house for a start to me.

 

I do mate, my first house was a terraced. He asked for views! I dont have love for coal mining, i have hatred for the government who destroyed the industry and the communities! Doesnt mean i want to live on an Ex coal mining estate or a council estate!

What i mean is, an ex council house is never gonna to really increase in value, wether there is a pilon there or not! Thats why it would concern me! It isnt the house, as usually they are quite big with big gardens, its the folk!

 

IMO keep looking! Prices are coming down mate we know this! As i say, an ex council house is always gonna have that stigma!
