neighbours last year (Oct) without our consent pulled our fence down while we were at work, (it needed a few slats renewed and dh was going to get round to it (he had ordered everything, but we just did not have the time to get it done) as we were doing a lot of renovation at the time, and also dh had just finished painting all the pation and decking and laying fake grass.
So one day we came home from work and a 5ft fence had magically appeared.
At the weekend neighbours pulled dh and produced a hand written bill for the fence repair dh said he was not paying for the fence as they did not get our permission and we had already wasted £68 on new slats that were now unused (we will be turning them into a bench/plant pots)
They grabbed the bill and walked into their car, mumbling all sorts of "we did you a favour..."
Well they did not.. we now have a 2 odd fences, one side is slats and the other is doomed feather edging. It is also not painted, or been treated, and is a different colour to our neighbour fence and our decking
At the time we were not happy but for neighbourly harmony, we just left it, and assumed they wanted more privacy to their newly build conservatory.
Would be be UR to treat and paint the fence also, dh thinking of just buying willow screening to cover it, if we are considered to be UR
AWBU not to pay.
