Conveyancing Solicitors in Barnet advise home buyers on covenants

Restrictive covenants have affected property for as long as Conveyancing Solicitors in Barnet, and throughout the capital, have existed

When acting on behalf of purchasers, Conveyancing Solicitors in Barnet make it a priority to advise their clients’ on such matters because, once the dwelling is purchased, the buyer ultimately agrees to abide by these restrictions on the use of the home and the land.

Catherine Williams, the Conveyancing Solicitor in Barnet acting on behalf of the buyers of a freehold abode on Lancaster Road, Barnet, EN4, came across a series of such provisions when examining the official copies held by the land registry.

Catherine ensured that the information revealed was brought to the attention of her clients and made further enquiries to the seller’s Conveyancing Solicitor.

Common stipulations encountered by Conveyancing Solicitors in Barnet 

Restrictive covenants are especially important to buyers of homes as they are essentially placing limitations on how you may use your own property.

They are usually imposed by the original developer or owner to protect the value of the home itself, as well as the properties and home owners surrounding it.

Common examples include the following:

“No building shall be erected within fifteen feet of any road.”

“No house shall be erected on any lot or lots the net first cost of which the materials and labour of construction only estimated at the lowest current prices shall be less than one hundred and fifty pounds.”

It is evident from the latter example that this was probably in place by the builder/developer to protect the value of the overall estate.

Additional matters relating to the purchase of the residence were resolved by Catherine and the vendor’s Conveyancing Solicitor in Barnet, including the receipt of the sales documentation from the agent, the Bairstow Eves branch at 14 High Street, Barnet, EN5 5RU.
