Right so probably a bit long winded one. I’ll try and get as much in as possible. Bought my house ten year ago and the neighbors are all council bar one, this may be relevant later. The property to my right we have a tree next to their garden (our side of the fence) which we have always had plans to cut back as to stop it getting too big. Talked to neighbor about my plans and he previously said he wanted to cut it down as the leaves annoyed him and left a mess, we had a conversation about if he happened to cut it down as he’s said he would do I said that wouldn’t bother me. His son also said his mum hated the tree. So to this point I didn’t think that there was any problems removing/cutting back the tree.
Today the tree was cut down and he now doesn’t want it down and made a big deal about the tree been his and the previous owner put the fence on his side meaning the tree is now on my side.
The previous owner replaced the fence and we have since replaced the panels at our cost which he was over the moon with?
Without getting my deeds out I can’t say where the fence should be which I may go get them for my piece of mind but if we had to move the fence who moves it as it’s his responsibility but he’s council and the council won’t replace it (hence we paid for the panels to be replaced. The fence panels were in when we bought the house.
I don’t do anything without passing it through the neighbors (if it directly affects them). Thinking about planting bushes that will eventually grow high up. But aibu to be a bit 🤔 about why mention it 10 years after we have been in the house???
