A restrictive covenant on your property within the HCERA area requires you to obtain prior written consent for alterations. But who do you ask for consent? The leases say it is the Southampton and District Land Company Limited which you will not find. In 1964, this company changed its name to Woodhill Properties Limited. So is this the company you ask for consent? On the 13th August 2019, Herbert Collins Estates Limited (HCEL) acquired the assets of Woodhill Properties. The transfer was carefully drafted to grant the benefit of the restrictive covenants. So be sure to ask HCEL for consent, hcel@herbertcollins.co.uk .
