A restrictive covenant will generally be enforceable between the original contracting parties as a matter of contract. There can be situations where this is not so, for example, where: The covenant is too uncertain or ambiguous to be capable of enforcement.
The covenant must be negative (restrictive). There must be a benefited and a burdened land and the two must be reasonably close together close enough for the benefited land to be genuinely adversely affected by a breach. The covenant must actually benefit the benefiting land.
Enforcing Restrictive Covenants An injunction is a discretionary remedy which a court is more likely to grant if it is applied for promptly. However before taking legal action it is important to establish that you do have the right to enforce the covenant.
In simple terms a covenant is a legal promise to do or not do something and is only acquired by agreement. In respect of property, covenants are used to describe conditions tied to the land. Covenants tied to the land can either be positive or restrictive.
Limitations On Home Color. Rent And Lease Restrictions. Restrictions On Business Usage. Limitations On Permissible Pets. Requirements For Exterior Maintenance. Restrictions On Exterior Constructions.
What happens if I breach a restrictive covenant? If you own a property and unknowingly (or otherwise) breach a restrictive covenant then you could be forced to undo any offending work (such as having to pull down an extension), pay a fee (often running into thousands of pounds) or even face legal action.
Ignoring a restrictive covenant If you choose to ignore a restrictive covenant, you could potentially face a claim in damages for the breach in addition to any injunctions granted.
It is not currently possible to register the benefit of a restrictive covenant because it is only an equitable, not a legal, interest. However, land obligations would take effect as legal interests in land and both the benefit and burden of the obligation would have to be registered.
