Rules about fences

Can anybody please explain to me the rules about garden fences? Whose responsibility it is to replace a fence? Mine or the neighbour? Thanks in advance

I will have a look at the deeds. The neighbours are council tenants.
Thanks for your reply!

If you bought your house/flat, this question should have been in the info that the vendors had to provide to your solicitor. There may also be something if you wade through the mumbo-jumbo in the lease document!

You need to check your Title Plan. If you're lucky the ownership of the fence will marked with a capital T. It often isn't marked though. In my road the fence on the right (as I'm walking out of the house) is mine. The one on the left is my neighbours.

Silly question, but do you mean walking out of the door facing the road, not the front door?!

don't get me started, i appear to have been done up like a kipper on this!

I have an old map which suggests if you live on a Ladder "rung", you are responsible for the fence on the east/downhill/Green Lanes side. The map only shows houses from Umfreville to Cavendish, I'd be interested to know if the same rule applies to rungs further north?

Not a Ladder dweller, but I will contact the council.

That's how it is further up too. The East one is yours, West is your neighbour's. The one at the back seems to be more ambiguous.

Hi John
May I ask how you know this? I am a ladder resident and my neighbour maintains (without any evidence) he owns the fence on the east but based on your post it suggests that may not be the case. Title documents are silent on both properties and neighbouring properties either side.

If you look at this map: http://www.harringayonline.com/photo/allison-road-building-plan?con...

There is a "T" shape on each boundary, located on the property responsible for the fence on that boundary.

Hi Joe
In an earlier post you suggest you have a map that shows responsibility for east facing fences for the ladder roads covering Umfreville to Cavendish. Are you able to post a picture of this map? The attached link shows only Allison Road.
Many thanks in advance
