You do realise there's an identical thread on RAWK ?Manc in London said:Like someone has already pointed, I would check your deeds. If you have a fence on the side of the road, then it may well be that the fence on the other side is your neighbour's responsibility.
Regardless, you are not obligated to replace the fence panel.
If it is any consolation, your neighbour sounds like a horrible, petty, tosser.
Best of luck.
The advice on here is probably much better though.Gaylord du Bois said:You do realise there's an identical thread on RAWK ?Manc in London said:Like someone has already pointed, I would check your deeds.

kp789 said:Depends. At our property at home, we are responsible for maintaining the fence on the left as I look down my garden from the house. The neighbors are responsible for maintaining the fence on their left (our right) I think it states it on the deeds of the house.
So check the deeds to your house. If indeed you are only responsible for the fence only on the one side of your house and they are on the other side,, then you are under no obligation to pay what they are demanding for this exact reason, it is their responsibility, not yours. By the sounds of it, if you are the end house with the fence adjacent to the road, it would make sense that you are responsible for that fence only. (Just my opinion/assumption)

I was just saying that in most cases it is to the left, but not all.

We have problem fences at the moment. Both neighbours are council properties. The back fence on our left (looking from the back of the house down the garden) came down in last weekend's storms. The council came round and agreed to replace it and said the fence to the right is our responsibility. This appears to be different from previous advice given.
However, if it is your fence, surely it is up to you to replace it. You get to choose what fence goes there. Put something cheap and the wrong size there and paint it a hideous colour just to spite them. If it is theirs, pay nowt.

Maybe Anthony can go round and sort the neighbour out, if you know what I mean? ;)
