    That's not correct. We have been asked to provide the breaches to mortgage companies on the properties as they have a legal interest in the property. As previously stated a buyers solicitor of a property will be informed of the breach and this will have to be rectified before any sale of the property.

    No we are not. We have building houses since 1938. The letters also show the transfer and the covenant on the title.

    No. Professional companies act professionally.

    I am so grateful for YM posting here, as their posts have persuaded me to never knowingly buy a YM home.

    No-one would buy a house from the company if they were made fully aware of this -

    "Restrictive covenants apply to changes to your property such as, sheds or outbuildings, conservatories, structural alterations, changing of windows or doors or any additions, alterations to fencing, addition of patio or pathways, driveway alterations, alterations to the facades, or external building additions such as aerials, sky dishes as well as registering a business at the address or parking business vehicles, vans or caravans on driveways. Each of these are considered breaches."

    Tenants have more power over the homes they rent than a home owner with these restrictions.

    Doesn't the law have things to say about unfair clauses? Would it be considered fair to have to pay the house builder because part of the fence was damaged in a storm and you replaced it or that you needed a new aerial for the TV?

    YentonMinsterHomes, I'm grateful that you have come along here to explain your position. can you let us know if you wrote to home owners as a result of being aware of individual breach(es) of the covenants or whether you have written to all the homes over which you hold such a covenant?
