Restrictive covernant on campervan

timmyt

OP at least you know what your deeds say, as so many people use cheap conveyancers who never tell you that your deeds say that and you move in with a commercial van and you become a right prat in the eyes of your neighbours...you are seen as a cheap person who used a cheap useless conveyancer.

How on earth did this become a discussion about 'useless conveyancers'??? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Timmy - get off your hobbyhorse and stick to the issue!

btw, in my younger days I had an old black cab. Lovely vehicle. It was 10 years old and didn't meet the exacting standards of the Met, who licence cabs in London. But it passed the MOT year after year and was a fine vehicle for london.

Did it " the devaluing of the estate if people start driving an ambulance up the drive - an ugly sight " ??

What rubbish!

Streets can be devalued by loads of things, some legal, some not. Boarded up windows, kids on the street corner, rubbish left lying around.
Whether someone chooses to drive an ex ambulance, or in my case an ex black cab, is amatter of choice. Does it devalue the street? Maybe, maybe not. How about the chap constantly fixing his car in the road? Or the tatty caravan on the drive?

You really are talking a load of xxxx Timmy.

But to return to the OP: an ambulance used as a camper is clearly not a commercial vehicle, so ignore the neighbour.

You really are talking a load of xxxx Timmy. we agree, cant you read. at £200 an hour, i am paid to be right. its what i do. but your 'knowledge' of the law is a welcome chuckle - told you before, its why i joined MSE, to step in and correct some long term posters
But to return to the OP: an ambulance used as a camper is clearly not a commercial vehicle, so ignore the neighbour. not that easy, as a covenant lawyer will tell you

Uh huh. I assume that English is not the language you work in then?

if it was enforced you might be in a bit of trouble as the point of the covenant is to stop anything other than private motor vehicles.

In trouble with who? The worst that can happen (and it's very unlikely) is he has to eventually sell the ambulance or park it elsewhere. We viewed a house in a road with a restriction on conservatories, every house had one, and it was unlikely the 1960s developer would care now.

Depends on your outlook on life. When I see commercial vehicles in a road it makes me think the people there have worked hard for what they have, and will respect the area. Others get snooty and start whining.

We have now registered the campervan with DVLA, although it cannot be PLG as it is too new, (51 reg) and cannot change its N1 status, still the photos sent to DVLA clearly show it is a nice camper conversion, not an ugly eyesore Timmy !!
We will seek advise from the Citizens advice before continuing.
I will not be forced to change what i drive due to snotty neighbours

ps, the other 'commercial' next door to the neighbours has not been touched, as they also drive Porsche's
