Some friends in Sussex are selling their property, but the buyers have asked for an 'electromagnetic survey', due to nearby electrical pylons.
Is anyone clued up on this?

I've found this outfit, but I guess there are stacks. I really needed to know whether it was a load of cobblers or not.

I did this with a property we were looking at which had a substation underneath it. I rented a thing like a geiger counter from somewhere and it was shrieking when next to the wall near the substation.
It might make a difference, it might not, but if you're trying to sell your house when there's a scare on, it would be a nightmare. The link has, as far as I know, never been satisfactorily proved, but a lot of people don't want to take chances, especially families concerned about their kids' health. And if it *was* ever proved to link to illness clusters, you'd be in a proper pickle.
We paid about £50 to rent the thing, so it would be a lot cheaper. I'll try and dig the link out for you.

Here you go. In spite of the vague whiff of conspiracy theory/tinfoil hats that surrounds the subject, I found them to be helpful, informative and friendly.
