Where do i stand when it comes to my nosy neighbour and my fence?

iv fallen out with the nosiest neighbour youve ever known, and last year we agreed to go halfs on removing the hedges from our gardens and have a fence, they were all up for it they even rang the guy and arranged the date etc, I payed up front for the whole fence which was £300 and not had a penny off them. Now i want to remove the fence panels to paint then only they have stapled flowers to it on the other side %26amp; have said they would get me done for criminal damage to there property,Its my bloody fence. Does anyone no my rights and what action i should take

Since they never paid you for half of the fence.. yes it is yours. Just inform them that you are going to paint and that they should remove their flowers. Let them know when you plan on doing it and if they haven't done it by then.. oh well, they were informed. It's awful to have bad neighbors, but when its your property.. you are in the right.
Reply:As far as I know it depends which side the posts lie.





If the posts are on your side then the fence is designed to keep them out, hence it's yours. If they lie on his side, well it's his.





If you have posts on both sides or alternating, it's shared.





What to do, wait til night time and knock them all down, throw some newspapers around the garden, knock down some other random things and then blame it on high winds during the night.





Then put in a 50ft hedge.





That'll work!
Reply:you are legally responsible to replace the left side of your fence if its the left side you replaced it is there property the only thing you could do is put another fence beside it on your land

It is important to open the lines of communication again. You may get everything you want, or at least figure out why they are being so odd. Maybe if you promise to put the flowers back on they won't have any complaints.


Good Luck.

This will tell you for sure who is RESPONSIBLE for the fence.


Send a RECORDED DELIVERY letter informing them of your intentions and observations, giving them a timeframe.


At the same time, tell them to desist from securing plants etc to your property.


By the way, I found that that 'Spray Cuprinol' gives a great finish.
Reply:I think if the supporting posts are your side, It's your fence, and you have a legal right to maintain your fence on both sides, but you have to ask for permission to enter their property to do the maintaining, so I assume that you would have to go their side to remove the fence panels? after giving them fair warning, to remove any plants stapled to your fence, but check with a solicitor, they will give you free advice, if you ask for free advice!


If you had only a verbal agreement for shared costs, I'm sorry I think you have lost your money! but good luck.

Did he have the right to paint on your fence


If not SUE HIM...!
Reply:Suggest that they stop tresspassing on your fence with their stapled flowers and also make good on the damage caused, or maybe they can be done for vandalism!
Reply:Paint it without removing the panels and make sure it drips through to the other side and marks it making it look unattractive.
Reply:It all depends upon who owns the fence not on who paid for it.First check with the local council re tenants behaviour/legal situation, councils have a responsibility for tenants.If the fence is yours (you can check this on your house deeds) ask them to remove their plants by ???? a date because you are going to remove the fence panels for painting/maintenance.Would suggest you inform them in writing as well as verbally.Ask citizens advice for any information they might have on the matter.Afraid you can say goodbye to your £150 though.Hope this helps.Good luck.
Reply:I would have thought, that if you had paid for the fence in the first place, then as it is your property, you have the right to take it down to do any repairs needed, if your neighbours have stapled flowers to it the it is they who are committing criminal damage if any, best to go to a citizen advice centre, it is normally free to ask for advice, good luck
