Developers and surveyors are faced with a stark truth: having identified a site for development, they can invest considerable management time and professional fees to obtain planning permission; yet, if covenants exist and are threatened to be enforced, this investment could be worthless.

Written by Andrew Olins, Covenants Affecting Land: A Practical Guide helps the reader to answer critical questions, such as:

• what type of covenant is burdening the site?
• is this particular covenant enforceable?
• if so, can it stop development of the site?
• can it be modified or discharged to enable the
  development to go ahead?
• if so, what is the procedure and how much will it cost?

Using practical flow charts and essential case law for illustration, this approachable guide helps readers to put theory into practice and, in so doing, to understand the implications of purchasing such a site.

This guide will be an invaluable resource for surveyors, developers and land buyers, APC candidates, and any readers seeking a better understanding of this complex area of the law.

‘Covenants are one of the aspects of property least understood by most surveyors and agents. At last we have an authoritative but readable book which unravels the mysteries. It is also a book I can confidently recommend some of my clients to read!’
