Hello,
we are building a prefabricated house on an inherited plot. Now the connections are still missing. Unfortunately, an underground cable would require opening a 100m footpath.

Our neighbor's house gets electricity via the roof; the line comes from the house on the opposite side of the street.

Now a power pole is to be installed in our property corner next to the driveway. Then the electricity will come from the other side of the street to this pole. An underground cable from the pole then leads into our house, which stands at the other end of the property; the property is 36m long.

Other lines are also used for the overhead line across the street, so there are no longer 4 lines in the air, but a thick (sheathed?)- I am an absolute layman here.

Our neighbor will be reconnected to our pole via overhead line (do we pay for that too or does the municipality pay for it?)

Does anyone have any idea what this might roughly cost us? We will of course get a quote...

On the other side of our house stands an old house, which my husband is supposed to inherit eventually. It has an underground cable.
Would it be possible and not also cheaper to dig over there (if that is possible)?

For water, we also have to go over or through the street. It would probably be cheaper to tap the water next door at the soon-to-be-inherited house. But to what extent could this cause problems later if the house is ever sold or demolished?

Our building land and the soon-to-be-inherited house used to be one property and were divided because of a construction loan etc.

Maybe someone has some useful tips.

Best regards and thanks in advance.

We have a similar situation regarding the electricity and water lines.

However, the power pole had already been on the property since the 1970s and supplies not only our house. The pole had to be moved because it stood right in the middle of the living room.

The local utility company moved the pole free of charge and simultaneously installed a new pole. Additionally, another house was connected with geothermal electricity and our geothermal connection was almost completed.
The house connection will cost us: €1750.00

We contacted the utility company before submitting the building application to clarify what was possible. Therefore, my advice: have the local utility company prepare an offer.

We have three houses on a plot of just under 3500 sqm and have gradually divided it over the years, selling one house.....with our new build, we were required to lay all supply and disposal pipes or lines anew. We were no longer allowed to connect to the existing system, although the piping would easily have allowed it.

Here, too, I can only advise you to get in touch with your utility providers and clarify what is possible or not.

Every case is different.

You will certainly not avoid the costs of a house connection through the municipality/association municipality/city.

There you can already inquire about the requirements of the civil engineering office. For example, we had to lay two sewage pipes, even though for the next few years they will discharge into one pipe: one for wastewater and one for rainwater from the roof. (Whether this makes sense or not can be debated, especially knowing that the public coffers are empty and there is no money for the planned reconstruction of the sewage system.)

Therefore: ask, ask, clarify on site... every municipality “ticks” differently (building authorities especially).

Best regards, Eve
