I've just bought a new house & on looking at the deeds is says the fence on the right hand side is mine. Which right is this? Standing with my back to the front of the house or looking out the back window?

Facing the front of your house would be the usual way of putting it, or looking out the back window, as you do.
Why would you stand with your back to the front of the house? (the way it reads, you'd be looking at the house across the road :rotfl:)Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

With regard to a vehicle or machine, left & right is always as you look forwards or to the front. I wondered if the same applied to property.Your home is at risk if you leave the windows open while out0

You've lost me now! I think with a vehicle it's offside and nearside to save confusion, but even though it used to be part of my job to know, I cannot for the life of me tell you which is which!
Is it near the kerb or near the middle

Not that it means aanything, we are ina house like that and the fence on the right has been leaning for 2 years, it finally fell down last week and we have sold our house on the condition we speak to next door and get him to fix the fence. Anyway neighbour just said he cant afford it so guess who'll have to pay. There's no legal obligations for him to put it up!Saving needed to emigrate to Oz*September 2015*
