Hello Delly,

Is there a particular area in which you need help in for this area of land law? I am happy to try and help but it may also be good to try some of your own research as well. Some good textbooks which breakdown the law include Bogusz and Sexton's Complete Land Law and Land Law Directions. The LawExpress and Concentrate revision guides on land law are also very good and I would highly recommend all of the above resources.

However, a definition of a restrictive covenant is "An obligation created by deed that curtails the rights of an owner of land; for example, a covenant not to use the land for the purposes of any business. A covenant imposing a positive obligation on the landowner (the covenantor), for example to repair fences, is not a restrictive covenant. Third parties who acquire freehold land affected by a restrictive covenant will usually be bound by it if it is registered or, in the case of covenants created before 1926, if they are aware or ought to be aware of it." (Oxford Dictionary of Law 10th edn).

I hope this provides some help but please feel free to ask any follow-up questions.
