Neighbours have removed my boundary by taking down garage

Then wait it out until you can come to a better agreement with your neighbours (i.e. - share the cost).

In this situation I would hold firm - the neighbours took down the 'boundary' - they can replace it.

Hold firm but meanwhile paint the temporary fence in a fluorescent pink colour!

Same advice here, make it safe for your goats, but wait it out.

Is the swimming pool going to be where the garage was ie, right on your boundry, so they can't walk right round their pool, if so, they will have to be very careful to find out just were their boundry finishes.

I knew someone who had to take their conservatory down and move it 4 inches as it was on/over the boundry line of the neighbours!!! Very neighbourly !!!


As others have said, the price they are quoting is well over the odds, but is it the builders or is it the neighbours?
Wouldn't like to pay for the pool if thats what a small fence is costing.

Maybe worth checking your own deeds to see if there is a covenant that prevents you keeping goats (or any animals)! We can't keep caravans on our land and they are funny looking animals!

Next door has no requirement for a fence unless they want one. It is the OP that has the need and duty to erect a method of containing their animals.

I don’t know if either are original owners as poster has not mentioned it ? Maybe unlikely but not impossible they would know I or you wouldn’t ? and A conveyance deed or a transfer deed may include a covenant requiring the purchaser to fence the land and for him or his successors in title to forever maintain the fence

The OP mentions that they are responsible for their left hand fence - this may have come from the deeds/registered title or simply from the particulars of sale given to them by the previous owner for example.

As posted a personal covenant does not run with the land and often the covenanting clause will refer to successors in title.

However with a personal covenant with each change of ownership the new owners will invariably have to agree to observe and perform the personal covenants as well for them to bind them. That tends not to happen nowadays so often an old personal covenant re fencing will simply give you an idea of how things were intended to be but little else.

Obviously if the OP is say the first owner after say the house was built and sold then they will be bound by it in the same way next door may be bound by one also. But if the properties have changed hands a few times then it is unlikely that it will now bind them.

As with all boundaries far better for neighbours to share information and understanding and then agree a way forward. If they then want to formalise that arrangement they can and have it registered but often it stops as just agreeing and letting the next owner(s) know when you sell on.
