Assuming the fence is on the property line, it is usually faces the property of the owner. That is, when they put the fence up they will do it from the land of the owner of the fence. Thus the poles, etc. would be on the inside on the owner's property. Some neighbors split the cost of a fence also.

Look at the deeds again and see if there are T marks on the fence with the tail pointing into your property.

It should be marked on your deeds, you can get a copy from your land registry. If you cannot read the plan on the deeds ask family to help you fence will normally be marked to indicate which section is yours. Alternatively, if you can afford to pay for the service go back to the solicitor who handled the conveyancing of the property and seek their advice.

Look on your deeds. It should outline the boundary. Failing that, work it out from looking at the rest of your street. If everyone else owns the right hand fence, then you almost certainly do too.

Where is it at; and who paid for it?

Check your boundary line. If you can't determine who paid for it, it belongs to the person who's property it is on; if on both, work it out among yourselves or end up in court over it.

(Check the "pins" the surveyor used for the last survey at the corners of the property; might have to go to the courthouse and get a copy of the last location survey and see if the fence is shown).

Where the fence lies in relation to the property lines determines who owns it.

If it's right on the line, you own it jointly.

If it's on your side of the property line, you own it.

If it's on the neighbor's side of the property line, he or she owns it.

You may need to have a professional survey done to locate the property lines. From that point, it should be simple.

I always understood it to be the fence to the left of the property if i'm wrong feel free to blame my mum that's what she has led me to believe for years

its usually the right hand side as you look out your door. unless its obviosuly a hedge that has been planted either side of where the boundary should be. the left handside is usually the neighbours. i should know ive just spent a fortune replacing mine. and if you put up fence panels you have to put the nice side to your neighbour.

your fence is the one on the right but if you want new fencing or same all round be prepared to co operate and share costs
