Boundary query?
GaryBC
Posts: 462 Forumite
First off, I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask this question - so apologies if I'm in the wrong foram!
We only have a chain link fence between us and next door so, to act as a privacy screen, I erected a fence a few inches my side of the chain link.
My question is: is there any danger of this fence becoming seen as the de facto boundary?
Thanks!

There is always that risk. All you can do is try to ensure that the chain link fence isn't removed with the neighbour thereby laying claim to that extra bit of land.

Would it help if I took sections of the fence out - ie ensure it's not a complete unbroken run over the full length of the garden?0

why not just remove the chain link fence, & replace with your new fence?

The chainlink fence isn't mine to replace.0

How much of your land are you talking about here? 10cm?

Probably only 6" or thereabouts.

If I was your neighbour I would be taking the chain link fence down and making good just so that I could mow all the way up to the fence.
Do you really expect your neighbours to put up with a weed strewn 6 inch strip of land?0 -

How do you intend to maintain the 6 inch wide strip of land you own between your fence and the original chain link fence?GaryBC said:

What's that got to do with my question about the boundary?Martin_the_Unjust said:
