My neighbour just decided to take a good fence down, and rebuild a shorter one and even gave themselves the good side lol not even a word just came home to see a new smaller fence.... She enjoys a good watch over the 4.5ft fence. Iv since planted many growing plants that by the summer will mostly block her out.
Although she never liked my small 1foot ball like tree I enjoyed pretending I was a pro by keeping him perfectly round. I came home and she had removed all 3. From my garden. I'm sure more will happen as time progresses. I just laugh it off now... gritting my teeth lol
She removed trees from your garden? WTF?? I'd have gone mental if I were you!Although she never liked my small 1foot ball like tree I enjoyed pretending I was a pro by keeping him perfectly round.

Convention is that the side with the posts denotes that's the side that owns the boundary (and is therefore responsible for it). So arguably the OP's neighbours can wait 20 years and then claim the boundary 
Ultimately of course it all comes down to neighbourly agreement. I have one 'post and panel' fence, which is my boundary, but the panels slide between the posts so it's virtually symmetrical.
I'm struggling with the notion of "owning" a boundary. A boundary is just that, an imaginary demarcation between pieces of land. There is nothing to "own".

Even if there was something to claim then it's not that easy to claim land by adverse possession these days. If it's registered then the land registry will notify the registered owner who has, I think, two years to object it it. If he does object then end of process. My neighbour recently built a fence between us (I paid, he did the work) using concrete posts and scaffolding boards - look good, actually. The posts are slightly to my side by, maybe 4 to 6 inches which was due to various reasons to the with how the houses and our extensions have been built. Anyway, I'm not arsed because both properties are registered so those few inches could never be claimed by him or a future resident as I'd simply object to it.

I was lead to believe that you were responsible for the boundary to the left of your house when looking at your house from the front.
Regardless, when I replaced the fence on my left I checked with that neighbour first and he said I owned that fence as the previous occupier had purchased it. We agreed to keep the new fence on the existing fence line and he volunteered to pay 50%, and I wrote a receipt for him with an explanation of what we had agreed, which we both signed.
We did this to avoid any future boundary disputes if either of us sold up to inconsiderate new owners.
Last week the neighbour on the other side replaced some worn fence panels, within the original fence posts and I offered to contribute half the cost. Annoyingly he accepted!!!

You can always attached carpet gripper on the inside of your fence, that way if any oiks reach over your fence fro leverage then they'll get a nasty surprise.....
Are you actually allowed to do that? I thought you weren't allowed to do that in case the poor promising footballers hurt themselves.saaby93 said:

I believe that that type of marking is not commonly encountered.
It's in my deeds in the LR document.AJL308 said:

Perhaps not to own, but to be responsible for. Most boundaries have a fence, wall or hedge and in that case somebody has to pay for them and hopefully maintain them.nonsequitur said:

If you friend's fence is actually one with morticed concrete posts and not like the picture you found which could also be remedied as previously mentioned then you can purchase a metal bracket that will slot into the morticed holes. This will means the arris rails would need to be cut as flush with the post a possible and then the bracket will slot into the hole in the post. This leaves a metal 'V' sticking out which is nailed to the arris rail much like the old bracket used on wooden posts that have not been morticed.
I came across them recently when fixing a friend's fence who had rotten rails but concrete morticed posts. They are galvanised and look to be as strong as the set up with the arris rail slotted into the post.
The picture you have posted looked like some northern thing they do instead of buying a proper concrete morticed post or getting a wooden post morticed.
