I am looking to buy a house which has a restrictive covenant restricting the "keeping of a caravan, commercial vehicle or boat in a position which is visible to a neighboring property." I suppose my question forms 2 parts:
1. I have a motorhome - Is a motorhome classed as a caravan for the purposes of the covenant?
2. I want to keep the motorhome in a position which can not be seen from the neighboring house but could be seen from their front garden - So for the purposes of the covenant is the 'property' the house, or would it include the front garden?
I would appreciate any views. Clearly, I understand that the reason for such covenants is to protect all parties, and in this case I suspect the purpose is to prevent some monstrosity from being kept in a position which would be an eyesore to neighbors. Ultimately, we all want to get on with our neighbors, but a legal viewpoint would at least give me a position from which to open amicable discussion
Many thanks
