Depending on the height of the post on the left, you may be able to install a lintel (a piece of wood above the gate). Force it in and it may push the wall plate right against the wall and force the post away from the gate allowing the gate to close. Then in the summer, plane the timber down on...

There is a chance that the gate will drop over time as the hinges should ideally be on the left. If you have no other choice I would probably get some good adjustable hinges like these -...

The replies above are good. One thing I would add. Remember adjustable hook and band hinges and install a 10mm gap all around. This means that if the gate drops, you can adjust the hinges.

The property deeds or drawings should indicate ownership of the fence with a small ‘T’ mark. If you see an ‘H’, this signifies a shared boundary. As others have mentioned, even if your neighbour owns the boundary, they are not necessarily required to install a proper fence. Additionally, the...
