Right, a few weeks ago the fence separating us fell down.
The next couple of weekends we have spent tidying up the shrubs etc. that had grown up round the fence and removing rotten wood etc.
last week neighbour came round to tell us to replace fence ASAP as he is dogsitting and needs it secure.
I told him we needed to check the deeds to check ownership and I'd get back to him. Cue lots of shouting along the lines of it's definitely your fence, I've never repaired it in 20 years, if the dog savages your DC it will be on your head etc.
So.. got the deeds from land registry and it says all fences are party fences and to be repaired and maintained as such.
Been to tell him it's fifty fifty and he says he's never heard such nonsense and why should he pay half.
We showed him the deeds but he still wasn't having any of it.
Left it with him saying as it's not on his deeds he's paying nothing and he's going to his solicitors.
We gave him a copy of our deed plans and the relevant section that says all fences and walls are party.
So, AIBU to expect him to pay half?
