Common Questions Answered

We understand you may have questions, particularly if you have received correspondence from us for the first time.

I've received a letter from you. What does it mean?

It means that we manage the freehold of a road or piece of land near your property on behalf of the estate owner. We may be writing to introduce ourselves, to discuss a specific matter relating to a covenant or boundary, or to respond to something that has been brought to our attention. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions at all.

Does this affect my property or my rights?

Receiving a letter from us does not affect your existing legal rights. Your rights of access, use, and enjoyment of your property remain exactly as they are. If any covenants exist on your title, these were placed there at the time of original development and are a standard part of property ownership.

What is a restrictive covenant?

A restrictive covenant is a binding condition placed on a property title, typically by the original developer when the estate was first built. Common covenants include restrictions on building extensions, altering boundaries, or changing the use of the property. These are entirely normal and very common across residential property titles. If you wish to do something that may be affected by a covenant, we can discuss a release or modification.

How much does a covenant release cost?

Each case is assessed individually depending on the nature of the covenant, the property, and the proposed works. We provide a clear, upfront quotation before any work begins so there are no surprises. Our aim is always to be fair and proportionate.

I've already carried out works without obtaining consent. Can this be resolved?

Yes. It is not uncommon for homeowners to have carried out alterations, extensions, or boundary changes without first obtaining a formal release of the relevant covenant. This often comes to light during a property sale when a solicitor reviews the title. We are able to provide retrospective consent and a formal deed of release to regularise the position, giving you and any future buyer clean title documentation.

Can I buy the road or land next to my property?

In many cases, yes. If a section of road or land we manage adjoins your property, we are happy to discuss a potential sale. This is common where homeowners wish to extend a driveway, enlarge a garden, or formalise access arrangements. Contact us with your details and we will assess the position on your behalf.
