The only way to know for sure is to look at the deeds. Most people are saying Left but where I live the Right boundary is ours. If you put a fence up on your boundary line you are supposed to give the neighbours the nice looking side but that is not always the case.

All three fences (the one in front of you plus the ones on each side) are yours. The fence that separates your yard from your neighbours is a common fence and costs and responsibility are shared equally. If your home is council, is the fence not their responsibility?

Well in the house I live in the fence on my left (if I stand in the back garden with my back to the house) is mine. If your's is a council house, give them a ring tomorrow and they'll be able to confirm this.

The one at the end. The one in the middle has the problem.
If there are fence posts on one side of a fence the fence with posts on your side is yours.
If the posts are in the middle, you will have to ask the council.

Generally (in the UK) when you stand looking out of you back door, the fence to your left is yours. Therefore if you look out at the front door its the fence to your right.
It might be worth checking your deeds though, there are exceptions.

what you need to do is look at your house deeds, this should tell you what your bpundaries are, for example they may have erected he fence, but they may have done it on your land, yes you may only pay rent but your renting that bit of land... my house is private for example, and i have a bush that goes into next doors garden ( a council house) now they do not have the right to cut it down as the roots are on my land...but they have the right to trim the parts that go in to their land.
you need to go to your local council office and ask them if they can advice you to some one that deals with the property and you need to look at the land you rent... then determine if the fence is technically on your land.
as house owners unfortunatly they do have more rights... but so do you...
if you have any oher disputes i strongly recommend going to your local citezeans advice bureo (if your not sure go to the local infrmation center or council office) they offer free legal advice and may even be able to help in the event you need to go to court
good luck!

P.S - if it is yours you have the right to take it down... but you need to apply for planning permission if you were to put it back up again (unless you take it down to repair)

By law, the finished side of the fence goes to the neighbor.

Surley if you are council, it is the councils resposibility to which fence is to be repaired , so check with them which one is yours, if you were private, it would tell you on the land registry which one is yours,

with out question placed a fence as a lot as your boarder line as below pressure on your blue prints. i'm shocked you may even ask on right here, you're identifying to purchase this land on your own loan. If the belongings builders ought to like this land they're going to opt to barter a fee to you regardless of what or the position they have erected (illegally) on your belongings, that you've the right to get them to get rid of . it isn't being unneighbourly as they don't seem to be going to be living there; yet in spite of in the journey that they were they be conscious of they are taking liberties - i'm shocked their solicitor is risking his licence with this besides. provide your little ones the play section they deserve. i imagine you've guessed this has made me furious! don't be so effective.
