    Probably go for Option 2 there. If there's power, then there's nothing wrong with the supply going into your house. But if there are some electrical items that won't work and some that do then you have a fault in the house. Could be something as simple as a blown fuse or a tripped switch but on the off chance that it could be more serious, best get a sparky to have a look.

    just to update

    it was a problem in all houses in the area not just in my house.

    It was like that for a few hours....then the power was switched off altogether for a short while before being fully restored.

    It remains a mystery what the cause of it was in the area:D
