Restrictions on new property

sukh38

Hi all 

Ive been advised the property I am buying has the following restrictions I will be bound by, my solicitor is not available till Monday, and I am stressing I can't put a fence or bush up in my front garden (point 3)

Are these 15 points normal?

Yes, those all look pretty normal, for any sort of modern development. Front gardens tend to be left open. It only says you can't plant a bush where it's going to interfere with underground service media (which is only sensible, surely?).

If you don't want or like an open plan front garden, don't buy a new house.

Looks pretty normal for new builds.

It's a reasonable response to the query. Has anybody else put up fences in their front gardens?

+1.   OP has the freedom (as we all do) to choose where they live, - new-ish property without fence or older one with fence.

It depends a bit on how old the estate is. If Persimmon are still selling houses, they will police this with a rod of iron, where it suits them. If they have sold everything long ago, they won’t care. They may have passed their rights on to an estate management company, of course. Is there one? Are the roads adopted?

We had this with ours when we bought it back in 2014. Once they passed the roads over to the council and demolished the sales office then they weren’t bothered

 We got written permission from the developer to out up a fence. 

 We needed it as son has learning disabilities and is a flight risk. Dont know if thats what swayed them to say yes. 

 Only house on the estate with a fixed fence.
