Default Living near a 400kV power line?

The missus and I are looking to move house. She has done a lot of research and found a nice house, the problem is that it is 460 feet (140 meters) from a 400kV power line pylon.

Initially she was worried about the negative health implications so we have had a survey done, which showed no increased EMF at the house.

The house is priced very reasonably and the price certainly takes into account that it is near a power line. However it has been on the market now for 2 years and in these two years the vendors have dropped the price by £115.000 and still not a lot of interest.

I have spoken to a friend who is a structural surveyor in the area and he says that it is a very realistic price, taking into account the pylon.

Personally I am not to bothered by the power lines or the pylon, what bothers me is a future sale.

Hence my question, would you buy a house 460 feet (140 meters) away from a power line/pylon?
