Re: Property Deeds
I found one of these restriction things in my deeds/ lease. Phoned the solicitors, who told me "ignore it". So I did.
Not really sure how they can enforce these things anyway? |

Re: Property Deeds
But what would the result of a Property Tribunal be?
For example I'm not allowed to hang washing out to dry on my balcony (I don't but many do (couldn't care less really)) if I did what would happen? I assume I'd get a series of letters from solicitors that I would ignore followed by this Property Tribunal. Assuming they find against me, what happens then? I'm asked not to hang washing out? I continue to ignore this, what then? I can't see myself being jailed for doing laundry... |
Re: Property Deeds
A restrictive covenant runs with the land not with the parties signed the deeds. So the restrictive covenant is not held by the builder who has now gone into liquidation but stands for the property that you own.
I suspect it could be argued that the covenant is for the benefit of your neighbours, therefore, if you put a fence up a neighbour could claim against you for any effect it has on their property value. Lands tribunal could award either damages, or a fine equivalent to the value that it has affected the neighbours property. You could ignore the covenant, or you could go to lands tribunal and request that is removed because it is outdated (unlikely). Or you can grow a hedge. |

Shrubs would be the less argumentative answer, how British am I with this answer?

Re: Property Deeds
Thanks for the answers, I knew you guys would be the voice of reason.
Looks like it might be more shrubs, albeit sharp spiky ones that itch when you fall into them. Anyone know where to get gorse bushes in the Essex area? |
Re: Property Deeds
If you want something really spiky, you need berberis.
