I am wondering if anyone can advise which fence section(s) are likely to be mine? I am the homeowner.
See attached.
All sections could do with being replaced to be honest, most of the posts are rotten at the base and have had extra wooden support posts fitted.
During storm henk the wind managed to blow over the (vacant, for sale) neighbouring properties back fence, which, as this is one long section forms part of my fence too. Because of this when their fence came down it pulled some of mine down with it. I have managed to put my and the neighbours fence back up and temporarily hold it with ratchet tie down straps to trunks of trees. This will hold for a brief period until I can get a quote for replacing the fence, however I dont want to be paying to replace parts that are not actually mine.
It is more complicated with the vacant neighbours property as I asume they live abroad and I have never met them, they had tennants for the last 4 or so years who moved out a few months ago and now the property is on the market. I guess i will need to try and contact them through the estate agent, i doubt they will be wanting to spend any money on the property.
I was lead to believe that if the fence was the resonsibility of the owner, they would have the 'good' side. All of my fences show what i would consider to be the 'bad' side, with the the horizontal braces showing as well as the vertical slats.
I guess to get a difinitive answer i would need to refer to the deeds? But how do i get a copy of my deeds? On all three houses i have purchased/sold I have never been presented with or told where I the deeds are..
Thanks for any advice.
