You will have to look at the deeds of your house. Usually, as you look down the garden, yours is to the left. But sometimes it is 50/50, so ask your neighbour.

The deeds could allow you to recognize. once you've any plans with the deeds then the fence that you own would have a 'T' image on the boundary line yet interior your deepest abode. it may well be that the right hand fence/wall is yours. some fences/walls will be joint owned and maintained. the problem comes with older houses and if the deeds are obscure or no longer accessible. good success.

You need to check the property markers or get a surveyor out to makr the actual property line. Whoever's property it is on is legally responsible for both sides of the fence. However, that does not give you the right to trespass on your neighbor's land to do maintenance on your fence (I know it is a sort of catch-22), ask your neighbor first. If the fence honestly straddles the property line then you will have to work somehting out with your neighbor. If the fence is on your neighbor's property then you don't really have any right to change it yourself without asking them and vice versa.

Check the deeds to the house but usually it is: Right side looking from house to bottom/top of garden and fencing along back adjoining property to your left!
But it can be different in different areas and is not unheard of to be left side!
Only real way to check is on the deeds I'm afraid

i was told if the postes are on your side, the fence is yours , if the planks are on your side , the fence is there's. how that works with the concrete post & wainy lap pannel type of fence is, it depends who erected the fence in the first place . But why not ask your nabour if it would OK if you both painted your own side . seing as it would benefit you both with a long lasting strong fence.

The unwritten law is that if you can see the best side of the fence, the fence belongs to your neighbour

Normally if the side with the posts holding the fence is on your side, the fence is yours and you should maintain both sides ,if it is not,it is up to your neighbour to maintain it.

an old building saying on fences (pailing) that the nails point home so the posts will be in your garden as the ail in the pailings are pointing to your garden but this is not always the case

It depends if the fence is on your boundary or your neighbours. If it's on theirs then it's their fence and so they need ot look after it, if it's your boundary then obviously it's yours. If however the boundary is shared then you need to look after your side and your neighbour theirs.
Your solicitor should have given you drawings showing boundaries etc. when you completed your house sale.

if you were to put up a fence you would not put the posts on your side would you therefor it is logical to assume that if the posts are on your side the fence belongs to your neighbour.
