I find it unbelievable that people will not fix stuff like that... we haven’t signed the contract yet so there is room for negotiation (I hope). We have gone over the asking price in an area (and a moment) where the market is not particularly strong so tbh I would like them to reciprocate getting the house looking as good as possible... call me a dreamer 😊

It's the neighbour's fence though, it's not part of the house you're buying, but you're expecting them to fix it?
I'd tell you to do one if I was them tbh.

Why? You are buying the place as seen. The only things you can really negotiate on are things that can't be easily identified in a viewing.
If you really wanted it done by them, you could try to get it done as a compromise on something else significant uncovered by a surveyor or solicitor that they will not do for you.

Unless you didn't see the fence before making your offer then surely it was taken into account in your offer.

Granted it wasn't a fence, but we expressed some issues we thought needed sorting when we made an offer on our house and they were sorted the next day.

You're buying the house, why would they do your dirty work for you? Presumably you bought it knowing it had a ruinous fence so there was a 50/50 chance it was the neighbour's responsibility?
Once you've moved in just go round and have a word.
