This work covers removing or altering restrictive or positive covenants that burden or benefit land, so the landowner can use or develop the property more freely. A solicitor handles applications to discharge or modify covenants under the Law of Property Act 1925, typically by applying to the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber) or equivalent court, and by pursuing voluntary releases where possible. They draft the application, gather土地 evidence, liaise with noticeholders, and negotiate settlements or undertakings to secure the change on terms acceptable to the client.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The change can unlock development or sale, but it also creates risk if nearby interests object or if consent is withheld. A solicitor provides structured evidence, coordinates surveys and title information, and ensures registered changes reflect the final order, protecting the client against future challenges or unintended consequences.
