Fisherman Mike Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Our previous house was built in 1963 and had a covenant on it regarding the front garden not being enclosed. I didn't even know that it had the covenant and got a builder to start putting up small low fences and a gate. Within a day of work commencing, a local busybody from the local Residents association / town council confronted me to say that they had called a meeting about it. In the end I had to remove everything. Never underestimate how many retired busybodies there are walking around with nothing better to do. :yes: Spot on and when your actions start affecting their pockets they become like bloody Hyenas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guest1957 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Well funny. Restrictive covenants eh?

kdubya Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Ah, it's all about who can enforce a restrictive covenant and who has the benefit. I doubt the builder gives a monkeys especially if it's a freehold purchase and they're offski once it's built out. It's so brilliantly funny because it's got "stuffed" written all over it along with a row with the new neighbours and a lesson on should have got the conveyancing job done properly and not on the cheap / or should have listened to what the conveyancing people were saying.... Made my week I'm off to watch my Sky channels on the cheap **** off its costing me £900 the tosspot never told me till I was in her sodding office to late then the wife was committed to the house, you try telling your misses she cant have her dream house cos you cant have a dish on a poxy outside wall, solicitors are like injuns only gudun is deadun. KW He could ask his local pub to put it on for him I suppose did that guy ever get his CCJ removed :lol: What about something like this? proper essex girl that KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to give them proper notice of cancellation or you'll end up in dispute with them and a CCJ. Irony-tastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Mule Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 A place I stayed at for a couple of years was a listed building, so not even the dodgy types would put a dish on the place (even where the neighbors couldn't see it round the back). BUT, you can legally stick a post in the ground and mound a dish on that (may be a restriction about how close to the house it can be though).

Catweazle Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 This is a superb thread Our house i sbuilt in what was a Methodist chuchyard and some of the restrictive covenants are very weird. For example we cannot sell alcohol from our residence. That ******* up my home brew plans.... My Dad's house has a covenant saying he can't have a sign-written van, breed rabbits or make cider. We have no idea where the rabbits and cider clauses come from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Mike Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Why not do a Cassius Clay and go Muslim.....make an application to turn your house into a Mosque, the LA will definately agree to this... Put up a satellite dish to recieve the news from Al Jazeera and be exempt from rates or council tax at the same time... You will probably have to kurb the drunken debauchery though but Mountain goats would be OK...keeping them that is.
