Re: Cats and Idiots.

Muddy, no wonder his fence won't last long with such a short gravel board.

As for solicitor fees, irritating but a few hundred now will save you more in the long run and remove any doubt from all parties concerned.

If it turns out that both of you have infringed the boundary line (who knows???), then a negotiated compromise/settlement would draw a line under the matter and remove any elephant in the room when either of you decide to sell up.

Life's too short. Get it out of the way imho.

As most people know water and soil combine and do rot wood that is the nature of fences unless maintained on a regular basis .
Concrete gravel boards would solve the problem. If your gardens gets waterlogged could be you have heavy clay soil or a high water table.

Deeds will often indicate which boundary the property owner is responsible for. The documents may state it explicitly, but if they don’t then a T-mark may be used instead. If an H shaped mark is present – which will run across the boundary line – then both neighbours are equally responsible for the upkeep of the fence.

Re: Cats and Idiots.

Muddy I would see my solicitor on the boundary issue if it worries you. However after selling 2 properties & a holiday home in the last year I can put your mind to rest …the days of a surveyor measuring up gardens for the buyers mortgage company or the buyer are long gone .

As for the fence rotting …that’s what they do rot … I’d treat his comments with contempt . Definitely an idiot

Straight question Ripple - do sellers have a legal duty of responsibility to mention possible boundary disputes during the process?

Actually i was flabbergasted as we have had lousy weather here with copious rain it’s only yesterday the beds needed water. .
So it’s been wet all winter but it’s my water that’s rotting his fence on my garden
Anyway this morning I called 101 and asked for advice .
The staff woman she not police was quite sympathetic and said she would report it as anti social behaviour but at my request no action would be taken but she gave me a reference no in case of any future trouble and said it had been noted .

Meanwhile I need to melt down some candles and make a wax dolly ……..
Good move.

There are potential legal and financial repercussions for being less than honest with a potential buyer.
