Thanks for all the replies.
Just spoken to our old neighbours, who were lovely - and who have interestingly given me some information which was:
"You know the fence isn't where the boundary actually is don't you? Us and the people who lived in your place before just put a fence there as it was logical to do so - the boundary is actually about 2 feet the other way..."
So this could just turn into a boundary dispute- I think the response therefore 'could' be "You know that's not the actual boundary don't you?" and see what happens.
Of course, now I just need to try and find the EXACT boundary (and documentation to show this) - which is of course, a whole different and fun game!

I would get them to put this in writing if they will,also if you could speak to the previous owners and get them to confirm things about the fence position it may prove useful if the house is fairly modern the deeds may well show where the fence should be as opposed to where it actually is.
Heavens forbid but if solicitors get involved it will cost you both.
Your best course of action may be to argue that the garden may be theirs
(if the fence is in the correct position) but the walls yours!and you will not allow them to build or attach anything to it. Nightmare..... not of your making its hardly your fault that the flues in the position its in. But it may not be wrong. Was the boiler in this position when the house was built ?
