Would you live 200m from pylons?

[Qwertyguerty]

Just that really. Looking at homes and ones near pylons are usually cheaper. Found one I seem to like and it's 200m from one so a couple of streets over and you can't even see them from the house

And you are worried about this because?

They aren't that pretty but if you can't see them unless you go out it's ok. Be more worried about a main road then pylons, as roads are also noisy and hazardous as well as ugly.

Nope.

Noisy aren't they?

I wouldn't - not if they are the big buzzy electric ones. They set my teeth on edge - I think it must be the electricity vibrations. I would rather live near a busy road with the noise and traffic. But it's a personal decision as we are all different.

No I wouldn’t

• noisy
• ugly
• reduces house prices
• harder to resell house again due to people worried about EMF

It wouldn't concern me personally, but I'd be concerned about resale.

If you cannot see them I don't see what the issue is at all.

no.

Same, they give me a really weird sensation of physical stress even when I'm otherwise not stressed.

I guess someone has to but it would never be me 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I use to live about 10 metres from one and has a beautiful view of it from my window . It didn't bother me but I'm in an area where there are a lot of pylons and it definitely effects property prices around here

No I wouldn't.

Google pylons and cancer risk

Yep, not a problem. Would be more concerned with living on or near a busy road. My house has gone up abut £90k in value since i bought it and houses around here sell overnight.

We offered on a house near a pylon. I had the electricity board out to measure the EMFs. It was fine but we withdrew our offer due to the noise and I don't think I'd ever truly be able to relax knowing the cancer link.
