Question what you want to accomplish and why and do this prior to adding all sorts of covenants in your Alabama land for sale. Peace of mind is what you might want to accomplish should the land for sale in Alabama is nestled right beside your home acreage or if it's near land that has been in the family for many years and you need to protect the remainder of the land. Your Alabama land for sale needs to be restricted to residential use and no commercial establishment can be operated thereon if the property description matches the one above mentioned. You would save yourself some money in the value of your house with these covenants. If you sell 10 acres beside your house it could prevent them from putting a bar or restaurant right next door. There is another covenant if you have Alabama land for sale. This one has to do with the type of construction that can be constructed on the property. Make sure it must be at least 1800 square feet of heated and cooled living area with a roof pitch minimum of eight (8) and (12). Also require that it be completed within one year from when the construction starts.
In addition to the above mentioned covenants on your land for sale in Alabama you could protect yourself in several other ways. If you have a normal 2500 square feet house, you don't want someone to come build a little shop of horrors house because this could make the value of your house go way down. I wouldn't want a house half the size of mine next door to my house.
There is one more covenant to discuss that protects your property in several ways. There can be no inoperative motor vehicles or junk of any kind can be allowed to be kept on the property. Also the property must be kept neat at all times. If the subdivision you live in has pretty homes and the land you want to sell is close to yours, you don't want your new neighbors to set up a pig farm including a hog wire fence!
The above mentioned covenants and restrictions are only a few in which your lawyer can put in your deed that can help to deter bad neighbors that we are all familiar with whether it has happened to you personally or you know someone that it has happened to. Do your homework and have as many covenants as will make you feel comfortable and that you think the buyer will accept when you sell your Alabama land. This will certainly help your position when you get ready to sell your Alabama land.
