48 Answers
When we bought our home 37years ago .There is a clause on the deeds ,stating that no viecles are to overnight park on the main road on the whole estate..There are about 27 houses .and all houses have a drive and a garage.
A young couple have just moved into a relitive of theres house which next door to us ,with a white work van ,and insists on leaving outside the house ,on the main road .It not only is the main thing that we can now see through our lounge window ,but it also obsquers our view when we reverse out of our drive .
We have asked them if its possible for them not to please leave it there,and the reply was It a nice looking van isnt it !!!!!!!!
How do we leagely stand as far as the deeds,and what can do about getting them to move this van .

They have a driveway and garage, so they should be parking in their own driveway! Maybe they don't realise that this is set out in the deeds!...... ........In which case, you could tell them in a friendly way, that this is the case!....... ..

the problem with covenants that come with houses is that they are often archaic and historical, and as far as i know (although i could be wrong - often am) they are enforceable by the people who made them (probably the original developers) You are unlikely to find the original developers still in business, or if they have been taken over, anybody who actually cares. Are you seriously saying that on the whole estate there is not one single person who aprks on the road overnight except your neighbours?, and that no-body has done for the last 37 years? What about people who DON'T live there - would they be allowed to park on the public road as the covenants don't apply to them?
In my opinion, they way forward is to talk to the neighbours
