RESTRICTIVE AND POSITIVE COVENANTS IN FREEHOLD LAND

Both restrictive and positive covenants are frequently met: over 70% of all freehold titles being subject to the former. Many such covenants are unenforceable but nevertheless provide a rich source of income for the insurers. The course aims to look at the enforceability of such covenants. In addition estate rentcharges are becoming a major issue.

Topics covered include:

• Enforceability of restrictive covenants
• Interpretation of restrictive covenants
• When to advise and when to insure
• Enforceability of positive covenants
• Unadopted roads and their maintenance
• Flying freeholds
• Estate rentcharges in freehold land
• Important points needed to be included in a title report to the buyer
• Regulations relating to septic tanks

• Mortgage Company Guidance on Ground Rents
• Proposed statutory changes to Ground Rents
