Conveyancing advice needed

[blue jack]

Hi everyone, I live in Gloucestershire, England. This is a bit random but we have four swift nest boxes on our house in Gloucester that we want to sell in the near future (not yet on the market) and I am worried that any future owner will take the nest boxes down. Is there any kind of covenant/clause/restriction that can be put in place to prevent this. Any advice would be very welcome. Thanks

Swallows and swifts are a dwindling species and it is against the law to damage or harm nests when they are in residence . Once they have vacated I'm not sure you could add anything as how would it be enforceable.

It is hard when you sell with wildlife, I have just sold my small holding not far from you and used to feed a colony of feral cats, I managed to hand rear and re-home 15 feral kittens (3 to my daughter) and so much wanted to take the older ones with me( to the detriment of my dogs!!)

I spoke to our vet about it and he said unless there is a threat to life re-homing them long distance would pretty much end in tragedy as they would always try and make their way back

That last day seeing them broke my heart but looking out of the bedroom window just before I left and watch them playing over my next doors orchard and my barn just made me realise how resilient wild animals can be

I knew the vet was right and new my neighbour fed them too but it still broke me in pieces
If you sell you can point out the legalities of how to treat nesting birds and hope they will look after them as much as you do, but beyond that I can't see anything legally can be enforced
