fencing on boundary

flashg67

What a miserable tight-fisted set of neighbours you seem to have been landed with. I have 4 neighbours/boundaries around my back garden and they've all contributed 50/50 when replacements have been needed.

I'd be tempted to leave them missing just out of spite

Possible, but very unlikely. Probate-type houses usually have issues rather more fundamental than broken fences, and they tend to be sold accordingly.

The person living in the house does not actually own it. The brother of the occupant does. the house was left to him in the parents will with the proviso the the sibling can live there for as long she lives. The house will not need to go to probate. I do agree though that the house and garden are in a poor state of repair and decoration (the garden is completly overgrown with ivy and bramble) so it will probably be someone doing a complete re-furb.
