We live in a close of 5 detached properties - one of which (the corner house, here in after referred to as CH) has recently been put up for sale. All the houses open onto a shared driveway which gives vehicle access to the parking spaces at the front of each house and all of the houses have side-by-side parking spaces.
Due to the layout of the houses and driveway, CH has only two spaces in front of what was their garage, but which they have had converted into a utility room and gym (!!). There is a restrictive covenant on all the properties requiring owners to park only on their own drives and NOT on the communal driveway. Apart from occasional guests/visitors, everyone except the people at CH obey this. CH people have had an old car parked adjacent to their drive for 18months. Not turned a wheel in that time and we all hope it will be removed when (if) they move. Our repeated requests for it to be moved have been greeted with shrugs and no action. Everyone else obeys the "no parking" requirement.
We now see that the estate agents details for the house are stating that the house has three parking spaces and plenty of additional space on the drive way for more cars to be parked, giving room for four or more vehicles. To say that the rest of us are pretty unhappy about this is an understatement and we are all keen to avoid any confrontation with any future owner, and also to ensure that the house isn't sold with this assumption in place. Both ourselves and the NDNs have written to the EA pointing out the error and correcting the information, but - as yet - the listing remains inaccurate. It's one of those on-line EAs so not easy to contact.
We are unsure what to do and are keen to avoid any issues with future owners (house not sold as yet). Any ideas or thoughts would be very welcome. Many thanks.
I should add that the vendors are very unpopular with the rest of us for a variety of reasons and we're all pretty happy they are thinking of moving, but the tension makes "reasoning" with them impossible, sadly.
