Is Enforcement of Restrictive Covenants Common?

[SimonH2]

Great tip cjard - the registry entry for the neighbouring property states...

'C: Charges Register
This register contains any charges and other matters
that affect the land.
1 A Transfer of the land in this title dated 22 August 1968 made between
(1) xyz Limited and (2) Jo Bloggs and Jane Bloggs contains restrictive covenants.'

This downloaded LR copy of register of title is pretty much identical to the one I have a hard copy of for the prospective purchase. Neither LR doc details what the covenants are - it's the original paper deed (photocopy) that describes the restrictive covenant 'no building within 15 feet of the plot boundary'.

So I'm now armed with the knowledge that the neighbours plot has restrictive covenants on it, but I don't know what those restrictive covenants are - even though it's likely that I might well be a beneficiary of said restrictive covenants if I become their neighbour!

There's a form you can send in, with £11 (charge last time I did it), to get a copy of a paper document. Much the same applies with my partner's house - it's an ex-council house built in the 60's and the title doc only states that covenants exist - referring to the conveyance document from when it was sold. Sent the form in, and got a copy of the full document - from when it was bought by the then tenant under the "right to buy" scheme.

Ah, here we are, Form OC2.
