What are restrictive covenants?

Restrictive covenants are provisions in deeds that serve to limit the use of a property, or restrict what can be done with that property. This can relate to you or your neighbour; for instance, if the way they are using their property affects you.

You will therefore need to know how a restrictive covenant applies to you, with an early assessment made and action taken to ensure you know your rights. With an experienced legal team, the stress of the process can be removed much more easily.

If you breach a restrictive covenant

You will likely need to employ the services of a solicitor if you think you may have breached a restrictive covenant. By turning to expert legal help, there is a chance it may be proven that a covenant is not enforceable. This may be the case if:

  • The restrictive covenants within the deeds or legal title of a property have been drawn up incorrectly
  • It can be proven that the procedures have not been followed correctly
  • The restrictive covenant is no longer of benefit to the adjoining land
