Solicitors can be wrong. There is no such convention. https://hmlandregistry.blog.gov.uk/2018/02/27/drawing-the-line-on-boundaries/

I’ve just bought a probate property, and likewise hardly any answers were given on the forms. The title plan doesn’t identify responsibility for any of the boundary fences, and the solicitor advised that convention states the left hand side (looking at the property from the front) is my responsibility. Also ask the neighbour is that’s also their understanding, to try to avoid any confusion.

Best not to make any assumptions. Talk to neighbours. An amicable agreement about repairing, re-painting, replacing the fence is far better than risking a neighbour dispute over a few £££! If you reach an agreement it hardly matters wjhat the legal position is (if indeed it can be established).

Thank you everyone.  'not known' seems to be the correct answer for us, and is obviously a common answer especially among probate properties.  
Thanks again everyone, hoping to not be back with too many more questions!
