'If someone wanted to bring in tarantulas, or 15 dogs, the residents' association could say no ....' (restrictions on residents of apartment blocks in United Kingdom)(Your Money)
Article Abstract:
It is common for residents of apartment blocks in the UK to be subject to regulations regarding noise, exterior decoration, drying washing outside and similar matters. This is particularly the case in high-value, low-volume developments. Regulations most frequently apply to keeping pets, with some developments even having a lifetime agreement, under which a pet that dies cannot be replaced. Almost all leases have a nuisance clause, preventing residents from making excessive noise, but this can be hard to control.

What would you pay for a slice of the country?
Article Abstract:
Properties on UK estates, with a large house in a parkland, are still popular, though they have fallen in size as parts have been sold off to raise cash. Jim Bryant, who works for the estate agent, Bidwells, East Anglia, which is marketing a 4 billion pounds sterling estate with a main house, farmhouse and cottage on 738 acres, plus stables, a swimming pool, and woodland, Furneaux Pelham Hall Estate, as a whole or in eight lots, finds that there are few properties of this type left.

Down in the country, something stirred
Article Abstract:
It is becoming increasingly common in the UK for people to rent, rather than purchase, a property in a rural location. Many of these properties belong to people who have to move away but do not wish to sell the property. Letting the property gives them some income and ensures that it does not remain empty for a long time. Those who rent a property in the countryside are sometimes people who want a second home but do not wish to invest heavily in it.
