Dont have to maintain either boundary , really ?

Maybe, but the 'vendor' refers to the original vendor, who may be long gone and even if not, may no longer have any interest in enforcing the convenant. So unless the benefit of the covenant has transferred (which is often not the case) or unless the land is leasehold, the covenant may not be enforceable.

The reality is that if you get into a dispute with a neighbour about a fence, this can make your life hell and may have to be declared when you sell, so regardless of the legalities, the only sensible route is to come to an amicable arrangement with the neighbours.

Oh yes , i agree daisy , i am just interested in all these bits and pieces sent through from the convenacers , the reality , as you say , is likey to be delat with between adults not feeding the lawyers with expensive legal action , plus as you say that would then be declared as a dispute also
