Which side of the garden's fence do we legally have to maintain?

Fence panels on both sides of our garden have come down in high winds. I remember the estate agent saying that we only had to maintain one side and the neighbours maintain the other, so everyone (-except those at the end of the street) maintains one side. Which one is it? Thanks!

If the posts are on your side it's your fence.

you need to check your deeds

is it a new house..otherwise the only way to decide is ask the neighbours..there aren't any hard and fast rules

I was always under the impression that if the posts were on your side of the garden it was your responsibility. Could be wrong though!!

Check your land registry documents - we currently have left( whuch faces onto road) and rear but the house we hope to buy is alleged to have all to rear (garden 200ft long ) but none to front.

as I said, you need to check your deeds - see here
