Restrictive Covenants

[Big Blue Plymouth]

I need to ask this on a property law forum but CBA to find one and register at the moment so testing the water here instead.

Bottom line is how enforceable are restrictive covenants put in the deeds of a property by a developer that has gone bust?

So it's not necessarily the bust builder who can raise objections, it's your neighbours or whoever took over from that builder (if anyone did).

If they've gone bust, take out indemnity insurance

Other people can enforce them.

What sort of restrictive covenant is it?

Have you asked your accountant?

I think NLyUK is an expert on restrictive covens.

google gives me Conquering restrictive Covenants | Harrison Drury as a first post.

Hint they can still be relevant but may not be legal in the first place. Find your deeds and find a lawyer...

No vans or commercial vehicles. Was thinking of getting a pick up. Not even sure it qualifies as a van so may not be an issue.

If a covenant is on the deeds, there's fairly close to nothing you can do about it. I'm guessing this is about "change of use" of some sort?

Yes, the neighbours. One of whom is a tub thumping, interfering old bint so if there's something to complain about, she'll complain.

That's there really to stop white van men, box vans, taxis and the like. Means there will be less issue with burglary and issues with insurance of business stuff. You normal pickup family vehicle should be OK.
