Hello I’m in the process in purchasing a house. The house title deeds has some worrying covenants. Not sure the solicitor would have told me this.
we intend to build a single storey extension rear and part side extension (small partial wrap around) and create a kitchen, bedroom and shower for a vulnerable adult.
but when seeing the title covenants I’m not sure what I could do? Please can I get some advice, I presume original vendor is dead from ancestors records and was thinking if Amy of these covenants are enforceable when a kitchen and dormas are made. We do love the house and have been searching for months for the family and something suitable for the vulnerable adult.
