Who Owns A Garden Fence??

[Smowball]

Is there a hard and fast rule or does it vary from house to house? If I stand in my back garden it’s the fence on the left between us and guy next door. It needs repairing in the middle as the gales a while ago have damaged it. There is no problem as in whoever it is will take responsibility, we just don’t know who it is.
Btw we have the ‘good’ side, and next door has the side with all the fencing support posts.

"Under UK law I have always been led to understand you own the fence to the right and the one at the back. Of courses there are always differences,so consult a Solicitor."

I have no idea who led you to understand that but they were leading you in the wrong direction.

I had a dispute with a neighbour over damaged fence panels which needed replacing - his answer was to buy new fence panels and nail them to the existing damaged panels on his side without removing the broken ones!
