Information for home owners/buyers
National Grid’s EMF unit helpline regularly receives enquiries from prospective homebuyers and sellers who are concerned about the health implications of nearby electricity facilities. The EMF unit provides relevant information to concerned individuals and will undertake field measurements as appropriate. It can also supply literature for home sellers to pass on to agents, prospective vendors and their advisers.
Mortgages
We are not aware of any UK mortgage lender which has a policy of refusing mortgages for properties near overhead lines or on grounds of EMFs. If, however, you encounter any such problems, try contacting National Grid’s EMF unit who have experience of this and may be able to help you.
