有懂房产法律的吗?新人求助 restrictive covenants

看上一个商用office, 想改成住宅自己住,但是发现有好多 covenants。 貌似年代很久远了,要紧吗?主要因为想自己住加一个栅栏,但是第六条好像对栅栏距离主路有要求?但是在图纸上前面一块离主路很近的地也是这个房子的。

有PP吗?改用途必须要申请PP。这些Covenant要现场看了情况和土地图才知道,不是纯看文字的。你没请律师?

谢谢回复。 还没决定要买,自己先买了一份 title, 结果发现这么多restrictive covenants. 请了律师是不是就要进行交易了?

Restrictive covenants 一定要调查清楚 因为有时候会很麻烦。不知道你是第几任buyer,因为律师还要调查清楚是不是以前的房主有违反restrictive covenants 的情况,如果有可能要向他们调查 如果找不到人很有可能你要负责任 作为successive purchaser。还有就是你要看看你自己将来的enjoyment会不会受影响,限制那么多,你自己将来就不能随便的改动,包括房屋的使用商用改自主,还有其他别的。请了律师就是负责交易前的调查。如果是商用,还要调查以前是什么用途,是否有污染等等,比如打印社啦什么的,这些如果对环境造成污染的,你都有可能负责。这些都是最坏的情况,一切要看律师做的调查报告为准。估计这种情况律师费用也会比较贵一些。请了律师在交换合同前随时可以终止交易,损失律师费用调查费用以及时间而已。

谢谢回复。 感觉水好深的样子。目前就是一个office. 奇怪的地方是中介给我看了房东请人画的图但是没有申请planning permission. 他画的图是分成几个studio,和我自住需要的图不一样。

planning permission还有building regulation吧 是改房子可能要申请的 不然算违建,要看大改还是小改。如果违建还要看有没有发notice。总之律师会调查清楚也是他们的职责所在。你将来商用改自住一定要planning permission,价钱要看情况,结构上要做大改动都要申请这两个的。当然如果律师调查之后说没有问题就万事大吉啦。
