Hi, We have finally found a property/plot (knock it down, start again) which WE BOTH like - ticks just about all the boxes. However, there is a bit of a curveball in terms of water supply. It’s in the Oxfordshire countryside - we were expecting private drainage, but it’s also got a private water supply, via a neighbouring farm’s borehole. Even the estate agent has said that this is unusual, says the current owners have never had any problems and just wants to dismiss it rather than have a meaningful conversation. The current owner is an elderly widow who genuinely doesn’t understand and when I tried calling the water board (Severn Trent), they wouldn’t have general non-committal conversation and just said make an application, pay the fee and they would respond. So, lots of red flags for us “townies” - but, before running away, I thought I’d ask for thoughts here. The plot is about 300m up a lane from a main road which has a string of houses on it (I don’t know, but assume they have mains water) and is about 20m higher. I’m guessing my question is whether this is impossible, or does it come down to a large cheque? and if so, how many zeros? thanks in advance.

Have you checked whether the extension lead has surge protection? Powerline adaptors struggle to connect through this

Hi, After years of talking about it, we are now retired and close to buying a plot in North Surrey. It will be for us and will hopefully be our forever home. Not done this before and hopefully won’t do it again. So, sorry in advance for any silly questions.
