Monkeys Fist 41380 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 How do you know who is responsible for a shared fence ( i.e. between 2 back gardens). Is it as simple as which side the posts are? Any legal property wizards or stroppy Titchmarches help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 41380 Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Cheers Bobster. Splitting it 50/50 was what I was going to suggest, just wanted to get an idea of what was what. *digs out deeds* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4461 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Traditionally people used to replace their left hand side fence (looking out from the back door), however this was just tradition and Im sure someone said there was no legal responsibility one way or the other. We replaced one here when we first moved in on the left hand side. Now the right hand side is looking one good blow away from collapse. The miserable cow that lives there doesnt seem to intent on doing anything so we'll have to wait and see. Would agree to 50/50 though when it does go.

Monkeys Fist 41380 Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Aye, cheers Jill. The T marks is the clincher. As I said, if all are reasonable I'm happy to go 50/50 anyway. If not, the deeds are King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W 0 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 It's always best to say " It's your fence but I'll help /pay towards fixing it" if you do it together you also minimise the chance of starting the sort of argument that leads to people suing for years and even shooting their neighbours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
