Can I replace my fence without Neighbours permission?

You can do this without their permission, as long as it is inside your boundary and on your private property.

birkdalesales.com - Boundary Rights For Fencing: All You Need To Know - Birkdale

Your property boundary and the laws surrounding this are not something you think about very often. But when it comes to replacing, repairing, or installing an entirely new fence, it pays to know exactly what you can and cannot do. So, to help you avoid costly mistakes, unwanted stress, and to stay on the right side of your neighbours, we explain all you need to know about your boundary rights in this article.

Do I need my neighbour’s permission to replace fencing?

Prior to starting any work, you will need to establish who is responsible for the fence in question. A common misconception is that every house is responsible for the boundary to its left. While this is true for many properties, it is not always the case, and you should check your property deeds for confirmation – which can be requested from Land Registry. If you find the fence is located on your neighbour’s property, the best thing to do is simply start a conversation. Ask if they are aware of the damage and what their plans are on replacing the fence. They may not even be aware of the problem, especially if the damage is worse on your side. An important note: Your neighbours are not legally obliged to replace a fence unless it is posing a safety issue. So, if you find yourself at a crossroads, a final option may be to erect a new fence on your own land. You can do this without their permission, as long as it is inside your boundary and on your private property.
