I have a leaning fence. Neighbours seem to think this is my responsibility and have asked me to get it done. I have nothing of it on my deeds. In fact no boundary responsibility is marked on them.
Do I accept this? Is it cheeky to ask them to split the cost (given that they may be right about responsibility but haven't proved anything? Is there any point replacing now? We currently have high winds and the fence is swaying. I'd rather leave till summer.
I have offered to take it down temporarily as they are old and may not be able to.
They have a pristine garden where as ours ... well let's say it's a work in progress.
