Hi 602,
The property is one of three, each with one acre of the original three acres, and all three covered by the same covenants, including some restrictive ones.
Our main concern was a restrictive covenant stating that no business or trade may be carried out on any of the properties - that seems to have been ignored in the past and we have spoken to the neighbours about my business, and none are bothered so hopefully it will be 'business as usual'
Otherwise I'll just keep our existing house address as my official business address - I'm sure Patrick won't mind
We're hoping to exchange contracts next week, with completion the same day if our final investment cash arrives in time. Otherwise completion will be on the 26th when our solicitor gets back from his holiday, so we could have the keys as early as next Thursday, just in time for me to set off to the Peterborough show
I'm itching to start moving stuff there, and I've already drawn out pencil sketches of how to utilise the 14 bays in the barn plus the office space
Funnily enough, another restrictive covenant on the property states no livestock may be kept - that didn't stop our sellers from getting a smallholding licence and keeping goats, ducks and chickens, with full approval of the neighbours!
Cheers,
Robin.
