DerekJ Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 On one side of our garden there is a wooden post/wire mesh fence between us and our neighbours. The posts are on our neighbours' side and the wire mesh our side.Some of the posts need replacing. Our relationship with our neighbours is good and I'd be quite happy to split the cost of any replacement posts. Before I have a chat with them I'd just like to know who is "actually" responsible.In the UK with fencing the practice is for the finished side to face away from the party responsible for the fence. Based on that my assumption is that our neighbours are the ones actually responsible.No big deal and not an issue but I'd just like to know.

Chancer Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Is the fence exactly on the boundary as defined by the géomètres bornes and the plan cadastre?If so then its a bit compliqué, if it is 1m to either side then it belongs to and is the responsabilité of whoevers land it is on.If it is less than 1m from the boundary like the tennis court fence behind me then it becomes even more compliqué!!

DerekJ Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Yes, on the boundary. Fortunately shouldn't be any problem with our neighbours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
