Is there any concern/issue in buying such property?

(plz chk p 2May 08, 2017 4:16 am Im sure those transmission lines will be taken down and replaced by underground cables/ lines. Check your engineering subdivision plan. New estates will never have overhead lines. Or is it an acreage land? Re: Is there any problem in buying such property?

Unless they are no longer in use I wouldn't expect them go anywhere. You could check with the developer if there are any plans for them. I personally wouldn't buy where I could see them, obviously people do though. It can be a away to pick up a bargain, i know someone who has bought right next to a line that is no longer used near Geelong and he paid a lot less than typical for the area. Apparently the lines will be coming down eventually, if that happens it will pay off. Re: Is there any problem in buying such property?

There is no guarantee these lines will ever be placed underground and it is your responsibility as a buyer to inform yourself about living near high voltage power lines and the risks involved. Not only are there possible health effects but your wifi, TV and other house services may have some noise interruption. Re: Is there any problem in buying such property?
