Buying a house in private cul de sac at the end of Feb advice please

inmypocketnottheirs

Just a quick word regarding restrictive covenants. These are very common place. The restrictions can only be enforced by whoever put them in place originally, usually the builder or developer. This would mean that if you wanted action taken against the B&B and the builder, you would have to get who put the covenant in place to take action. Sometimes it can be a church if they sold the land for example, and then more often than not the covenants are upheld.

As advised above, if these points are going to needle you now, then I would think very carefully about completing. But in reality, are these activities really likely to impinge on your enjoyment of the property. Only you can decide....

Good luck!

the van wouldn't bother me, however I wouldn't be happy about the B&B situation. You don't know how much traffic/noise/disturbance this could cause. If it were me, I'd pull out. If you cant accept the situation now and are having doubts, it wont get any better

Same view as JennyW - the fact that a builder parks his van outside his home would not bother me and is very commonplace, it doesn't mean he runs his business from home, he may just find it easier/safer to commute in that vehicle than leave it elsewhere. We have quite a few commercial business vans parked up at the end of the day on our estate, including one in our cul de sac.

The B&B would be of concern to me as it potentially means guests regularly/consistently park up outside the house.

Have you done a websearch for B&B accommodation - you could anonymously ring them as an enquiring guest and ask about parking arrangements etc.
