We purchased a Persimmon Homes Leasehold property in August 2018. Eight months later we discovered that Persimmon had sold EIGHT properties that immediately surround ours to an investment company who have converted all of them to be used for HMO purposes with a capacity of 44 individual people (namely students in our area). According to our legal documents regarding restrictive covenants, all properties are to be used as ‘Single Private Dwelling’ only. We complained to Persimmon and had meetings/conversations/emails with the MD. However, 15 months later the breaches have not been enforced as Persimmon are refusing to do so. Bear in mind too, that FOUR of the houses have had their garages converted to enable x6 bedrooms throughout the 'Croft' house and this investor has not sought or been granted permission to do this or to change the use (we have this in black & white from said MD along with numerous other emails admitting the breach/es). Im sure anyone that has actually paid £250 to ask permission to alter their properties won’t be too pleased when they discover this! We did not purchase our new property to live on a student campus (with the associated mess/noise/and parking issues thanks to removing the garages) and thought we were protected by the leasehold terms which of course Persimmon Homes themselves have set in place! It would appear that if you are in a position to purchase multiple properties from PH, you are exempt from the legalities that bind the rest of us… This is a very long story cut short…..
