[QUOTE="clark, post: 505757, member: 33469"] Thank you everyone for the super helpful replies. @ProDave, it is transmitted to the houses overhead, on poles down the side of the house (only 3.5M away, so you are no doubt right that I could not extend. Then it goes out onto the main street. 10-20 houses in total. I checked and there is no easement in the title deeds. Even if there is a wayleave with the current owner I'm told they do not transfer over to new owners, and have exit clauses anyway. So I could give notice for removal. But that is a lengthy, uncertain, and potentially costly process. I think I can only go ahead if I can see a good alternative location for the transformer. The main factor will be cost; whether the DNO can easily place it somewhere else, or not. I know where most of the other poles are but I don't know enough about how the circuits work to understand if another pole might be suitable instead. I could post a diagram if anyone here knows enough to have a look, otherwise I fear I will have to turn the property down. A shame because it would make a nice family home for us but it's at full price as if the equipment is not there. [/QUOTE]
