Fence question

dantheman2010

Good morning all,

I asked a question about fences a couple of months back.

My fences fell down about 7 weeks ago, I got my side fixed and the tenants who live next door said their landlord would get the ones he was responsible fixed "in the next week or two". 3 weeks on they had not been fixed, so we asked again and were given the same answer.

I now plan on leaving it until I return from holiday in May by that time they would have been down over 3 months.

I know that no one HAS to repair the fences they are responsible for, however I would like my garden secure and enclosed again. IF I fix them myself, providing there are no issues from their LL in me doing so, do they then become my responsibility in future? i.e Would I HAVE to pay to fix them again if they got damaged or would it still be their LL's responsibility.

I am sure the LL will get round to fixing it at some point, but with summer fast approaching I am looking forward to enjoying my garden, so just wondering.

Hopefully I am not going to get shot down, for asking a question.

Thanks guys and gals.

have you got any means of contacting the landlord directly, rather than going through the tenants?

Unfortunately he lives in Florida. Lucky him!

When we asked 5 weeks ago "he was coming back to the UK in a week or two and would sort it". When we asked 3 weeks ago "he was coming back to the UK but not sure when, but is getting his mate to sort it". 3 weeks on still nothing.

The LA dont care as he is managing the tenancy himself. I may write to the LA and ask them to forward a letter to the LL. I know his name, just not his address as the Land Reg search has his address as the house in question.
