Knowing the Rules When you Put Up a garden Fence

When you buy a house, one of the things that you probably don’t give much thought to is which your fence is and what the laws are surrounding garden fences. This is something that many people tend to find out when something happens, and there is a dispute over the fencing.

First of all the only way that you can know for certain which fence is yours is by checking the deeds. So if you are planning to get someone like this fencing Loughborough based company directfencingandcontracting.com/services/fencing-loughborough to come in and put a new fence up for you, before you do this you need to check the deeds to make sure that the fence you are having done is actually yours.

So what happens if there is a damaged fence that you would like to have repaired but it isn’t yours? Unfortunately, there is not a great deal you can do. There isn’t a law that states that people must do this, so you can either speak to the neighbour and see if they will do it, or if you are willing to cover the cost speak to them and ask if they would be ok with you doing it.

As well as who owns the fence and who is responsible for it, another law that you need to abide by is the height of the fence. There is no standard fence height, it is something that you need to check with your local authority.
