I don't know the full story but I have a fair idea of which side of the fence I would want to be

Well if you do not want to elaborate fine, but I suspect most people here will have no sympathy with your position if you keep talking about a fence problem in the abstract.
Rightly or wrongly you seem like you are looking for trouble..Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.0 -

There is a long ongoing dispute with them over ownership of a fence.
(long story, police involved)
I am 99.9% sure they will not declare this on the sellers form (as I have pointed out that their house is virtually unsellable in letters in the past) and I would hate for a buyer to find out after purchase.
Other than writing to him reminding them of the fact, or telling agent, what else is possible?
I bet it's just a laugh a minute have you as the next door homeowner. Pity you can't clone yourself so every street in the country can have somene just like you.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0 -

The problem with informing Estate Agents, solicitors and prospective buyers about the dispute is that perhaps your neighbours will realise that they can't sell and decide to stay put. Is that really what you want?
It really does depend what outcome you want. If prospective buyers find out about the boundary dispute then they won't be buying the house. The dispute regarding boundaries probably makes it effectively unsellable as is. That puts you in a position of power. So here's the question: Do you think that you are in the right in this matter?
If so and they are just horrible, obstructive neighbours then surely it is best to get shot of them ASAP? In that case, say nothing while the sale goes through and then explain the situation nicely when the new neighbours move in. Maybe they won't care about the fence or boundary. Even if they do care about the fence or boundary then they'll be too busy suing the former owners to bother you about it, particularly when you pass them all the documents relating to the ongoing legal proceedings with the former neighbours.
Only difficulty is that one day you are probably going to want to sell - and the exact same situation will apply then unless you take steps to resolve it.0 -

You could find the only interested buyer is a hardned BTL LL and the dispute will be resolved by you getting a hell of beating0

I would say, if I've read it right, that if that is the case, there is no dispute - You've lost the use of the land.0
