Fence

[wrjelly]

can my neighbour affix something permanently to my fence without permission

[woofgang]

if you own the fence then no. They need your permission BUT its well worth keeping on reasonable terms with your neighbours so think before you act!

[Cloverjo]

What kind of thing have they affixed? If it's not going to do any damage I'd just leave it. I assume it's on their side of a boundary fence.

[wrjelly]

It is my fence , they have decided to use my fixing post to put a fence up in their garden. It has value or use for me and no permission was sought.

They should have asked permission. But, in the long run is it worth falling out with them over such a trivial matter?

If you do nothing now the time to argue the toss will be when the post needs replacing, assuming it's a wooden one.

I've got to say I'm glad I don't live next door to wrjelly. A petty attitude does not lead to good neighbourly relations.

[Dodger666]

Good neighbourly relations applies to the neighbour who attached his fence to wrjelly's fence also. He should have asked permission.

I have a friend who was holiday some years ago and returned to find his neighbour had erected a concrete post and arris rail fence between the gardens with the posts cut into my friends lawn. Needless to say he had to take it down and re-erect it with the posts on his property.

Yes Dodger, you're absolutely right. The point I was trying to make is that making a "legal" fuss about it would probably end up with bad relationships for a long time.
