I'm not sure actually, that's a good point.
If in the deeds it said it was theirs, presumably it's not even our decision to replace it, especially if there's nothing structually wrong with the one that's there.
Maybe we just need a shit load of bamboo.
We got some really nice pakoras passed over the fence not long after I posted that yesterday. I felt bad.

If you don't already, having a high screen for the first couple of metres next to the house really makes a difference. It doesn't have to be a fence. Say how excited you are to be growing your favourite plant and stick a 6' trellis up with something leafy. Ok it's not solid but it will give a little bit of privacy.

You should have it in the searches your solicitor did. That would be my first port of call.
Bamboo in planters would work well if the fence isn’t yours. If it is, then I’d put a fence up and just let them know, you’ve been doing work to the property so it shouldn’t come as a surprise. If they ask say it’s to lower you insurance premiums. We get on with our neighbours, they’re a lovely couple with kid + dog - we speak to them every so often but without a fence the garden wouldn’t be a relaxing place.
Is the fence yours of theirs?
