Hi I would be grateful for some advice. I do not know who is responsible for the fence at the bottom of my garden. About a year ago the neighbour at the back of my house installed a new fence running parallel to the one at the bottom of my garden about 4 inches behind my fence using concrete posts. This means that it will be very difficult for me to replace the fence at the bottom of my garden which needs doing. I have 3 large shrubs and a shed in front of my fence. The only way I could replace my fence is to ask neighbour at the back to lift their fence panels out of the conrete posts and let me have access from their garden to install a new fence directly behind the one they'd installed. When they installed the fence I presumed they would remove the one at the bottom of the garden - there was only one fence their previously but no they put it directly behind mine. My fence doesn't have concrete posts. A gardener said to me why not just rip down my fence as it is falling down and rely on the fence the neighbour has installed can I do this or could this cause boundary issues?
