House Boundaries...

hello there. I have recently moved into my first house with my boyfriend... in our garden down 1 side we only have a small wire fence, we are looking to replace this to a proper fence...but we are unsure on whether that fence is our boundary or not. On the house deeds the previous owner has put a question mark - so she obviously didnt know either! Is there any way of me finding out which is our boundary fence??

Thanks

Try finding out through the Land Registry.

The boundary should be set out in the deeds, your solicitor (or conveyancer) should be able to tell you the answer, I imagine it will be in the survey.
Some properties have caveats that mean the wall on one side is their sole responsibility whereas others (like mine) the walls on both sides are joint owned.

Or, it really doesn't matter because if it isn't yours and your neightbour agrees YOU can pay. If they don't, still no problem providing you erect it on YOUR side and not the actual boundary.
