garden fence
8 Answers
We have recently put a fence up and our neighbour did not want to pay anything towards the cost which was fine with us. But he wanted us to remove his old fencing which we said no because it would add cost to our bill. We have had our fence erected up against his.The fenceline by the way is his. If he removes his fence now it means he is gaining a small portion of our land. Can we stop him doing this ?

He may gain use of a small bit of your land, but he doesn't gain the land. It remains yours. You may have moved a fence, but you havn't moved the boundary.
Anyway, if it was his fence, and he put it up in the correct way, it would have been wholly on his land. So in fact he's just regaining use of his own land.

The best thing to do for your peace of mind is to contact the Land Registry who are a very friendly bunch and they have loads of free advice that they can give you over the phone or you can visit your local office. Att'd Link below for the numbers and addresses of all of the Land Registries

good luck!
The house is owned by an estate agent and rented out to a guy who uses it just every other weekend,so its not going to spoil any relationship. I dont see why this company should gain value to his property at our expense. His fence is just a decripit few concrete posts and wire. I think if he does remove his we are within our rights to ask him to put another up to keep the boundaries ?
