We had a note through the door today from a neighbour whose garden backs onto ours. She has decided that she wants some fence panels replaced that run across the end of her garden but runs across the side of our patio. The fence is on our land and therefore our responsibility, but she has offered to pay the cost of replacement as it’s her that wants it done. I have no real problem with this apart from the fact that we some fairly well established plants growing on our side which may get damaged but it’s workable. What has annoyed me though is that she’s already booked in the work for this week whilst we’re both at work which I wouldn’t be happy about, and also asked us if we’d like to contribute financially, which we absolutely cannot afford right now. texted her this afternoon to address the concerns I have, tell her we can’t contribute moneywise, and ask if she’d potentially reschedule the work, but she’s not responding. I’m worried she’ll just go ahead with it either way whilst we’re not in. Can she do this?

Glad you've got a reply... I wonder if she's booked the work in assuming it's her fence and someone has said something which has prompted her to check and she's now trying to get your consent.

Well hopefully that's the end if that!

Screenshot her text AND keep the text.

You & DH can have a nice day off work together, I'm sure you'll gind a way to amuse yourselves 🤣

Any news?

That’s a shame Op, you were going to get lovely new fence panels and having had fencing installed myself the workmen if a good company would have done this without damaging your plants. The existing panels will already be concreted in, so they would use that space.

Mumsnet strikes again

New fence panels at no cost to yourself, fuck no, how dare you think you’ll get an expensive freebie and improve your view.
