I am looking at buying a small new-build house & many of them say "local connection applies". I know this is for Gas & Electricity supplies but can anyone give me a rough idea of what the costs are for this. thanks x
The connections will be done by the local networks who own the pipes and cables, regardless of who you buy the electricity/gas/ water/telephone service from. All the relevant phone numbers will be in the front of the telephone .
I agree. This sounds like it is not to do with the cost of installing utilities, but that you have to have a local connection to the area to be eligible to apply to buy. There will be some form of subsidy involved in the cost of the build.
