Fence questions [X-posted]

wrote in aus.gardens: We are planning on having our boundary fences replaced soon as they are quite deteriorated. We are surrounded on two sides by pensioners and on the other by a rental. I am currently putting together the quotes and writing up letters to go to everyone concerned. What happens when/if a neighbour doesn't want to/can't pay their share? Can you still go ahead with a fence if you pay for it yourself? Also to save money we will be demolishing the old ones ourselves as they are practically falling down. Is there a logical way to take them apart other than paling by paling? Thanks for any advice in advance, Liz You had replies which cover most aspects BUT whatever you agree get that agreement in writing and signed before you start building a fence - a signed letter will do. but detail the type of fence who will build it, who will pay and how much and anything else you think relevant. Memories are not the most perfect thing something in writing stops a lot of disputes after the event. Regards Prickles Timendi causa est nescire This message only uses recycled electrons |

They'll also advise as a rule. You only pay your pay for your own side as agreed. He collects from the other party. If there is one party wanting a super fence, he pays the difference between a normal fence, and the super fence. But if other party doesnt want this, for aesthetic reasons, you may have a fight on your hands... The fencer will usually know the legal stuff from past experience. |

That may well happen but it is not my experience with fencing, the fencer will quote etc and advise but I have never had one sort out the intricacies of who owes what. In my experience they much prefer to deal with one party, they certainly will discuss matters with the other party(s) involved but understandably are reluctant to make agreements between them. I guess it influences cost too. Regards Prickles Timendi causa est nescire This message only uses recycled electrons |

A few qoutes from both sides of the fence is the way to go, the fencer should do this. |
