I don’t think there are any definitive rules about these but am having problems with these and the neighbours. We ‘share’ fences and hedges on both sides. They were all there before I bought the house except one neighbour has recently put a new fence up at the bottom of my/their garden. There is also a hedge on same side which they don’t do any work on and expect me to take care of. The hedge is in between two fences including the one they recently put up. So at top of garden closest to the houses it is a fence then moving down it’s the hedge then at the bottom is the new fence they put up. I don’t think that’s reasonable for only me to deal with the hedge. They are renting, moved in after I bought, and they let their garden go beserk for quite a few years but now are taking an interest in it. However they don’t think they should have to deal with the hedge for some reason. The main tenant (partner moved in) is not a reasonable person and I’ve had problems in the past with them. Any tips?
