Restrictive Covenant

Posts: 5 Forumite
Hi all,
Am going through the purchase of a house and have been provided with restrictive covenants, one of which is:
"No to carry on any trade, manufacture, profession or business..."
Would this mean if we were to say make things from home and sell them for example, we would be in breach of the covenant? For example, if my wife made say cushions from home and sold them, would this be in breach? Or if she made some things to sell on eBay?
Thanks for any thoughts.

Strictly speaking, yes, though obviously it's aimed at things which might adversely affect the neighbourhood, not trivial things quietly carried out as ancillary to normal residential use. So I wouldn't worry about it.0

It is more to protect the neighbourhood from lot of commercial vehicles making deliveries and others picking up all day. As well as the noise of manufacturing and members of the public visiting the property.
I don't think a few items made to sell on ebay will have an affect. It will though if it is obvious and someone complains.0
