Good side of fencing

I had thought that only one fence is the responsibility of the building owner?
Normally, looking down the garden the fence to the right is yours and is for you to maintain. I could be wrong on this though.

You are.

You could be responsible for one or all of the fences and it could on the left, right or back.

It's a bit of a myth/ old wives tale, or whatever you want to call it.

The deeds for the property are normally marked with a "t" to denote who is responsible for the boundary.
The fence belongs to whoever built it.

Gent's - thanks for clarifying my misunderstanding of fence ownership.

Unless it is a shared boundary and you have an agreement with the neighbour then the WHOLE of the fence should be on your side. Regardless of which way it is the fence has a width of X inches so there is no loss or gain depending on orientation.

If you are losing inches by having the good side then the posts are in the wrong place

The fence is all on my side the issue, which I did make clear, is with a pinch point with drain pipes, had I had the good side on my side I could not get a in past the pipe, but as the pipe is in the mid point between two posts that is not a problem.
