Neighbour now says our fence is on his land after previously agreeing to it.

We bought our house 2018,our neighbours moved in the same year, we got on really well. They erected their own fence all the way around their property because they didn't want to have a party fence. We then built our own in our back garden, the neighbour suggested we go onto his land around half a foot to get concrete posts in, we did this. Between the 2 properties is a culvert (think that's how you spell it) we think a Dyke was there also. To cut a long story short we have had a major fall out, about what I don't want to say on here. Neighbour has now nastily, verbally told us after hitting my husband that he wants the half foot back, meaning we will have to take our fence down. We have no intention of ever speaking to this horrible individual again so the likelihood is we will have to do his bidding? 

Do you know where your fence originally ran? And you are confident that this represents your side of the true boundary, as far as both would 'agree'? Cool.

Then move your fence back to there.

I don't know what this fall-out is about, and neither do I care. But, if your fence is knowingly in the wrong place, then either, (a) move it back to where it should be, or (b) leave it where it is but tell them they are welcome to take it down and return it to you, or, (c) take it down yourself and leave no fence there.

To do anything else will make you a male chicken. Ie, no worse than your estranged relative.

I hope that is clear?

Separate what is this issue from anything else. Just do the 'right thing', and everything else can sort itself out as required, or not. Don't add stuff. 

Is my advice.

well I presume you are no longer speaking to him so ignore any comments or requests.

If you do not engage you cannot have a dispute

If only that were true.
