Neighbours and fences

no chance!! £78.50 for a days hire or full outfit bought for £785.

Must have been. They'd be out of business if they were asking £700 nicker for a days hire

Luckily I have a river that separates me from the neighbours in two directions, and I own the fields to just over the horizon in the others.

Which is nice.

As a rule of thumb for fence ownership/responsibility take a look at which side the posts are. If the posts are on the neighbours side and you have the nice bit, then chances are the fence is yours and your responsibility and of course vice versa for the other way around. Typically for gardens that run parallel to one another, the land registry will have each householder responsible for one side as you run up through the street.

Of course for complex plots/layouts this approach may not fully work, but it could give you a good idea.

If it is your fence why should they put up anything? Sounds jolly decent of them to me - you are lucky to have neighbours who are such damn good eggs.

They must be reputable dealers of stolen goods. Good fences make good neighbours, apparently.

Can't really add too much to what has already been said regarding the practicalities of replacing your fence but with regards title deeds/land registry confirming who owns the fence, don't bank on it.

Had a dispute with a neighbour (luckily, not my primary residence) regarding fence ownership so when I reverted to the title deeds to clarify, was about as useful as a chocolate teapot. In the end, paid for the fence to be put up myself and £800 sounds about right.

In your scenario, I would still clarify who's responsibility this boundary is and if you have strong proof it's your neighbours, then I'd get them to pay for it - it sounds like they wouldn't issue with this anyway.
