Hi Guys, Our back garden fence (to the right as you are looking out of the house) is dilapidated and the next door neighbours have a pond. Now as we have a 20 month old son, we'd like him to be able to play in the back garden without being able to get into next doors garden (as you can already) but as the fence panel is missing, we were wondering which fence was ours in order to either fix the fence ourselves, or ask the landlord for next door to fix it just in case our boy goes into the garden next door.
Also, the neighbours have put up a horredously big satellite dish onto the fencepost with wires stapled to the fence. Obviously if the fence is theirs i wouldnt have an issue

Thanks

It's impossible to give a statement about which fence you own - you will have to look on the Title Plan of your property register and there MAY be an indication by the plan being marked by little Ts marked on the plan. Where the Ts are marked on your side of the plan, those are your fences.
This only applies to more modern estate developments - older properties won't have this.
Irrespective of who owns the existing fence, it is not an obligation to maintain it (unless a specific clause in the Title Register says there is), and it is perfectly permissible for you to erect your own fence on your side, or to merely device something just across the 'hole' to prevent your son from getting through.
