When buying or owning property, it's crucial to understand covenants - legal obligations tied to the title. Restrictive covenants prevent certain actions, like banning business use or restricting building alterations. These bind all future owners. Positive covenants require action, such as maintaining shared spaces. Unlike restrictive covenants, they don’t automatically pass to new owners and require a Deed of Covenant. Ignoring covenants can lead to legal action, so due diligence is key. Read more in our latest article, here: https://lnkd.in/eT9MWD7u #PropertyLaw #LegalAdvice #SavageSilk
