I've phoned about 70% of the companies listed on the Lloyds Register. None of them do domestic. Does anyone have a contact for a company that does it in Scotland ideally.

On the form I asked for 20

We are visiting the site in a few weeks time so will have a look round.

Thanks. Yes I had a quick search and read a few posts on the subject. A local architect said the same thing about not accepting the first quote. This is an estimate they've given us though and I expect they err in the bank's favour.

I think about 7 from looking at google maps. However, if you follow the poles south from the one on the plot the second one down has a brand new transformer on it which they've not marked on the map

Well insulated SIP house with ASHP and MVHR. Possibly a Heb Home timber kit. It's alsp worth pointing out that their drawing below is wrong. Where they have marked the assumed point of connection to the network well that pole is actually at the East boundary nearer that house on the right.

I didn't request 3 phase and estimated the supply at 20kVA.

Hi all, my first post. ? We are in the process of buying a plot of land. We've had our offer accepted subject to conditions one of which is the cost of the electricity supply. I've completed the form for an estimate from SSE and they've come back today with £25,500 ex vat. They've based this on a new three phase supply with a mx capacity of 35kVA for the entire development. We're building one three bed house with an ASHP, MVHR, and possibly an EV point but not confirmed. The plot is in a rural area with electricity supply nearby (the supply runs overhead across the bottom of the plot) The design document suggests they need to upgrade a transformer. I know they recently installed a brand new transformer in the field opposite that my connection will come off. I am somewhat surprised at the cost as had budgeted around £17,000 at the high end. I was warned to expect a high estimate though. Part of the game apparently. I've left them a message to call me back to discuss. Would welcome any suggestions or advice. Thanks Kelvin.
