Dangermouse wont that Covenant devalue the price of the land for when you want to sell it?

[Helencus]

I wondered about that too DM, it may put potential buyers off in the future. They may not be as bold and adventurous as you 

[Dangermouse]

I guess it may devalue the land a little, land is so scarse in my neck of the woods Im not sure it will make a lot of difference.

Most of the land is big farms and the rest seems to be horsey type people so noty being allowed pigs and poultry may not be a big issue.

Its a pity though as i quite fancy keeping a couple of piggy's and a few chickens

[dixie]

So why exactly do they say you cant keep pigs on it?

They dont say why, I guess because they are a bit stinky?

[Helencus]

nah mine don't stink, not if you're vigilant about keeping the bed and pen/enclosure clean. They have a piggy smell granted but they don't stink... or have I just stopped noticing 

[Farmer]

Did you mean the pigs or the vendors?

As a hard headed property developer (now Ive retired from nursing) I would suggest you get this covenant removed as you never know what will happen in the future and 21 years is a bl**dy long time!

If theyve already backed, down push it more and ask for it to be removed. Full stop!

[doganjo]

I think it might, Jackie.  A covenant stays with the land and can only be removed by the person who imposed it or by statute - as far as my legal knowledge goes anyway.  If it didn't work that way, Dangermouse could buy the land, sell it to his wife, then buy it back in order to get rid of the covenant.

[Jackie]

You are right Annie, thats exactly how it works.

Sorry, didn't read the whole thread there nor who it was I was answering - just a bit of jet lag from getting home late last night from Englandshire
