Dear all shifu/pros,

Wanna ask if its alright to buy a house next to a tnb sub station?

you will die faster becoz of stress seeing how Malaysia is going down the drain very soon.

don't worry bout tnb station etc...so as long its cheap and you are happy

Later son become noob how?

thanks

If you have a choice then better not and that is also depends what do you mean by substation and how far from the house. There are many type and scale of the so called substation. If like the one at kelana Jaya. ..better consider twice.

Take note of the other impact as well. The view, the scene and the risk of accident.

Lastly , do not expect exponential growth in value . Thus, if you are really buying make sure it is at least you get a good deal.

like this. garden is just next to fence of the tnb sub station....house probably about 20 feet away

Technically -- No problem.

re sale later -- Much smaller buyer pool

Price -- Lower than surrounding because smaller buyer pool.

own stay i don't know

But for investment. The price is usually lower 10 to 20% compare sorrounding.

thanks! now am wondering if the sub station will attract lightning?

No, it will not. Chances to hit a tall tree or you in the middle of a football field are much higher.
For home staying it's not much deal since you paid lower premium. Same goes for it when you are selling it in the future.
Capital appreciate expected lower compared same row of houses.

Sometimes the old transformers in the substation will start 'humming'. Can get quite loud.

Is the fence of the TNB substation next to the wall of the house? If it is next to it, is there at least 5 ft or 10 ft of space before the house structure? If there is a small road separating, even better because future buyer might not mind so much.

This type is consider okay lah and 20ft is reasonable but of course the recommended distance is 10-15m. away.

Anyway, this shouldnt cause too much of an issue. On the view perspective, can grow some plant there .

the tnb station will have some zhi zhi sound not?

i think this is small matter... substation is nothing... u js look at puncak jalil there... the house surrounding full of high tension cable and pylon, and yet the houses there still selling like hot cakes.. ppl doesnt really care if the house are some distance away, and its not inside your house.. so what the matter?

in my point of view, the high tension cable and pylon create more harm.. but expert said so far they didnt discover any harm with the electromagnetic field.. so i guess sub station are far more safer...

wondering those who stay nearby high tension cable.. are their house metal become magnetize or not ah? and those who stay nearby are they always getting static shock? like static shock when u open the car door, or watever static shock?

the direct long term effect is unknown, the indirect effect by worrying the long term effect will make you lose sleep which eventually effect your health.

risk of fire due to short circuit perhaps? or unknown neighbour (heard before some unfortunate ppl have to stay in the substation area).

invalid point...

Not an issue at all.
Meantime, as suggested by banana, take the opportunity to negotiate the price 10-20% lower either for own stay or investment. ;-)
