Our current home is a terraced house with no drive, therefore nowhere to park the MH; I keep it in storage locally.
We are planning to move house this year, for many reasons, and were looking forward to being able to keep the MH on the property. We have been told, however, that most of the estates in the area to which we were planning to move have restrictive convenants in place banning the parking of caravans and motorhomes.
We have driven round the area and there are many caravans and MHs parked there, so it seems likely that the covenants (if they exist) are not being enforced. I am most unhappy, however, about buying there since I believe that it would any take one neighbour to take exception and I could be prevented from parking my MH.
My current plan is to stress to my solicitor as and when I have a particular property in mind to establish whether any such covenants exist, and advise me accordingly. I also plan to canvass prospective neighbours to preclude as far as is possible any problems arising.
Does anone have any experience of this problem? Is there anything else I can do (other than change our plans about where to move to)?
