Does the good side of a fence prove ownership?
Not reliably. Fence orientation alone is not a dependable way to establish a legal boundary.
Help with Fencing & Boundaries
Unsure who owns the boundary fence?
Contractors can install fencing but they should not be expected to decide a legal boundary dispute. Before altering a disputed line, establish what is agreed and what evidence exists.
What to do next
A sensible first check
✓ Check title documents and any plans you hold
✓ Speak to the neighbour before work starts
✓ Distinguish fence ownership from the legal boundary line
✓ Seek appropriate professional advice if the position is genuinely disputed
When should you act?
Resolve disagreement before removing a fence or changing the line.
This page is general guidance, not a diagnosis. If the issue involves immediate danger, active water near electrics, fire, gas, structural instability, unsafe working at height or another urgent safety risk, use an appropriately qualified professional or emergency service rather than relying on online advice.
