Light bulbs burning out sooner? Each house having its lights wink on motor starting?Even around 5 or so volts? Seems to me that would benefit all connected homes, as voltage under load would be closer to 240 and 245 volts shouldn't have any adverse affects on equipment when loads are lower.
One way or another you need to keep each individual house service voltage drop low enough. The only solid reason to change the taps is low voltage at the transformer.
If there is a problem with primary resistance, then each house will affect the others too, which you want to avoid.
