Hire wire act - 2009 - The Estate Agent May 2009, 20-21(2) .

Problems of carrying out a valuation of a property blighted by overhead electricity powerlines and pylons. Stresses that it is not only the visual impact but also health and safety issues such as concerns of electro- magnetic fields which effects value. Suggests that factors which affect value are the size of the electricity line or pylon, value of the property and distance from the lines. Compensation claims against electricity company for the loss of value can also be initiated by the current owner and then transferred to new purchaser
