Always a debatable issue on HTC concerns. For me, people living near to telco towers, wifi connection in your house, living near TNB substation, etc...there is always some effect one way or the other...

even living on a hill, living on a slope, there will always be consequences...

Looking at the subject of resale or reselling:
1) There are many others who believe there is nothing wrong to buy house near powerline
2) If the resell value is lower than other house, well your purchase price normally lower too

On safety side
A 2006 Medical College of Wisconsin review of studies on the subject revealed that:
- 46 percent of those studies found exposure to power frequency fields had no effect on subjects.
- 22 percent found that exposure resulted in DNA damage.
- 32 percent of the studies were inconclusive.

Like normal people, some may be sensitive to something and some may not. Some allergic to some and some are not.

Some guide provided something like this:

The minimum clearance distances o powerline are as specified:
Voltage (kV)----------------Minimum Clearance Distance (ft)
Up to 50-------------------- 10
>50 to 200----------------- 15
>200 to 350---------------- 20
>350 to 500---------------- 25
>500 to 750---------------- 35
>750 to 1,000-------------- 45

How to identify what is the voltage on the powerline?
You can see that there are ceramic insulator (that white disc) near the tower on each side. Count the number of insulator

Transmission line Voltage -----------------​Number of insulator discs
110 kV -------------------------------------- 6–8
220 kV​--------------------------------------- 10–12
​400 kV--------------------------------------- 18–21

The 30m is far. It is your call even if I'd say it is okay

To add on to this

Most of the HTC u see near to residential should be 132kv

Good. My voltage is base on country with different voltage system

Yea 30m-50m should be good enough for me.
I have a twin uncles.
One live next to a HTC, another does not.
Both have a similar healthy lifestyle - don't smoke, don't drink etc.
The one uncle that doesn't live hear a HTC passed away 10 years ago from cancer.
The uncle that live near at HTC is still alive and healthy today. He has live in the same house under HTC for more than 30 years.
So I personally think living 30m-50m away from HTC doesn't affect ones health.
Just my opinion.

this remind me of certain bank does not approve loan for unit near HTC.

Thanks. This is informative

Hard to sell in case lelong?

Wow. Didn’t know got such requirements. Hope can refund deposit if loan rejected

apart from cancer, one must consider fire and electrocution hazards too. depending of the spacing within tower (>50m), if one end of the cable broke, the cable will fall and bounce. if you are unlucky, it may hit you.

it is still up for debate whether affect health or not in the long term.
but just for peace of mind get a unit as far away as possible i guess...

Like that u need to cut all the trees around ur house as well

Yes. It is bad. There are so many research and there are standards issued for house distance from the power lines. But unfortunately, in Malaysia.. money is power. Therefore it is important for the people to know the risk involved living nearby power lines, especially those are are planning to start a family.

If you like, buy. Don't like, don't buy. As much as we try to prove it is harmless. Your mindset will still think otherwise.

you are right, like someone said above, peace in mind. i see quite a few examples where friends faced many obstacles (not so smooth process) when acquiring new home. at last their business/career went south. i might be superstitious/pantang but just be cautious.

You can try, please lets us know your health condition in 20 years

Lol.. is confirmed bad for health especially htc with hub around

Some banks do not grant 90% loans for properties near HTC. Its a known fact.

In Australia, your insurance premium is higher if your home is located near HTC.

Bad but if I sell u the house for RM1 u still buy right?

How much discount can u accept to justify a nearby HTC?

Why high tension cable is buried in putrajaya?
