The cost for a separate supply,was probably supply+do...this can be drastically reduced,if arrangements can be agreed,to excavate the trench,supply the cable,etc.
I have some good friends,in an old established farm-house,where the 100A DNO incomer,feeds three separate dwellings. They are all family,and an agreement of usage,ensures no hiccups,as strange as it sounds,it has worked so far...
The fun begins,on a change of circumstance...extra use,bad winter,or heaven forbid...a sale.
It is at this point,the disaster and expense become a possibility.
I actually have a client where this has and is occurring,and the fact that his elderly relative,is having issues re;means testing for funding care-home provision,as his property has a sub-main from a property he owned years ago,and pays his electricity bill,to the new owner.
The fact that his dwelling does not have its' own supply arrangement,is flagging it as "possibly uninhabitable" and therefore unsaleable.
