Hi. This is a question out of curiosity more than anything.
A couple of years ago, I bought a house which hadn't previously been sold since 1950s. It had to be registered and upon reading the deeds, the usual restrictive covenant was mentioned (no burning bricks, keeping pigs, enjoying wifi in 100 years time etc). This covenant was dated about 1896 and referred to throughout the deeds. However, another restrictive covenant of 1907 was also referred to in the deeds but no detail whatsoever as to what this RC could be.
Does anybody know if there could be any come-back even though the deeds do not give any detail as to what this RC is/was?
Just to add - an insurance policy was taken out to cover this. Insurance cover seems to be the norm these days to cover any backs though!
Thanks in advance for any thought.
