I am buying a house in the UK and the property next door has two poles for antennas.
The next door lady seems to be very nice person and said her husband is an RF engineer and he used these on weekends. My basic question: will it effect any of my internet or TV or telephone?
I am planning to have fiber broad band.
The frequencies your neighbor would be transmitting are different than the ones your own communications would use. They should not interfere with your utilities.
Occasionally, funny things like old metal connections can end up re-broadcasting related frequencies instead of the original one, but this is usually accounted for as well when the allocations are made between TV/amateur/cellular/etc. bands.
It is encouraging that the neighbor not only appears to be a "ham" (trained and licensed hobby radio operator) but is also a professional RF engineer, so I doubly doubt you should have any problem. A big antenna like that would used for frequencies no where near the frequency of your WiFi. And it would be extremely unlikely for a wireless radio signal to interfere with an optical fiber internet connection itself.
No, this will affect nothing. Otherwise, the neighbor would not have gotten the right to operate these antennas.
