Property divide issue

[117 M34]

Maybe he has put it up so it looks really bad on purpose, then you will be happy for him to take the wall down and have his nice fence put up.

BTW - did he want you to pay half to knock the wall down and replace with fence?

That's the point, he never discussed having the wall knocked down but when my wife clocked him on the verge of doing so and I spoke to him on the phone he did mention going half on the fencing then but nothing since. My last words to him were to knock on the door and we can talk.

I dont understand the not wanting to speak business. Talk and we can or could have resolved this no problem I reckon.

Why the need to play any game

6 foot sounds perfectly reasonable. Most border fencing is 6 foot, so with it being 4 foot would seem reasonable to add the extra 2.

I admit it's not pretty but privacy in the backgarden is important for some (my wife included).

What is holding the fence on my side

look like he thinks he has put it dead center and has gone of the change in pointing as his guide

Even if he has gone off the pointing and that is the dividing line half of the fence post is on your property. It has to be wholly on his property unless you agree otherwise.

I think you've got a case of 'encroachment' here, he's also not allowed to attach anything to your property. You can remove it, but it's best to give him the opportunity to do so, so there is no misunderstanding.

I've read through (quickly) twice so sorry if I've missed it but whose is that wall? Yours, his or shared?

You need to go double or quits on these things if you can, as he might just gamble on you not seeing through all legal channels - you'll have to pay to enforce anything and in the end he can pay nothing, wait and then back down free of charge if he realises he's bound to lose.

If it's your wall, let him know you'll be asking your solicitor to send an invoice for renting the wall off you for £x per month.

So would you just put up some crap fencing, drill into someone's else's walls without telling them?

I reckon not, most people would talk about it.

Forget the height, it just decency<br /><br />-- Mon Jul 29, 2013 8:41 pm --<br /><br />

The wall crosses onto both properties so could be shared, I need to check this out but the documents are not in my house to do so now.

I'm in Blackley and have a VERY sharp (new chain) Chain Saw.

I would gladly come round and cut the fker off in seconds if you want.

Pm me.

He might have travelled on one of your coaches to the away games, when the toilet wasn't working, and this is the REVENGE....

Could be trying to hide anything from a weed farm to a bdsm club, they may be getting a big dog who knows, but 6 ft is ok although he should have asked your opinion at the very least, if I were in your position I'd pretty it up on my side (paint, plants,whatever) but tell him if anything like this happens again you will take action.

Hand on heart I'd be very suspicious, I'd be having a polite conversation and just mention that the police were asking about the fence, don't make a big deal it of it just throw it into a chat, it will make them rethink if they are upto something lol.

I told you it's a complex issue that's why you need a good surveyor
