How much for a new line?
Quote from: Cagney1994 Well, if I wanted a new line in a property where there wasn't one, what would the cost be?
If you just want a new line installing on a new account, then it would cost £49.99, but there's no guarantee that the engineer would be able to install the line exactly where you want it, they may have to follow the same/similar route that the current line takes, possibly entering the property in roughly the same place.
Quote We'll carry out standard installations of phone lines for the appropriate connection charge as out in the Price Guide. These connection charges do not cover extensive new construction works (such as external work). Also for work such as installing or moving a phone socket additional charges as set out in the Price Guide may be payable. However, we'll always aim to advise you of these charges before any work is undertaken.
If you want to move your existing line, an internal socket shift would be £165. You may also need to speak directly to the Openreach External Network Relocation Team if you need to change where the line enters the property.
Thanks guys; really helpful info 
One more thing; if there already is a line and it's been 'dead' because some previous occupant cancelled their service, how much would it cost to re-activate it again?

If the stopped line shows available for us on the ordering system, we could restart this free of charge on a new account.
If you were wanting to have you current services moved over to the other line, it would essentially be a housemove.
