Hi,
Not sure if this is the correct place to ask but hoping someone may have the answers. I have recently purchased a property and the basement has my electricity meter on the side wall of the property. From the incoming main, there is also another supply to my adjoining neighbour's property, so the cable for that supply, is attached to my floor joists across the entire width of my property, it then drops down the dividing wall four feet or so and goes through the wall into my neighbours property. Firstly I am not particularly comfortable with this & secondly I am wanting to convert the basement at some point, so whilst it could be worked around, I don't want it hidden for obvious safety reasons. My question essentially boils down to: if I want this moving, who is responsible, who do I call, who pays etc? and is this an accepted method of supplying a property (at some point my house was owned by a trust that also still owns my neighbour's property, so I assume this was possibly a cost cutting method).
Thanks.
