Who owns what fence? Find out which side of the fence is yours in three simple steps

Finding the boundary

Check the deeds to your house to find the boundary of your garden.

This documentation should outline where your boundary begins and ends.

Once you have located the boundary of your property, you should be able to tell which side of the fence belongs to you.

In some cases, the boundary listed in the deeds could be outdated for two reasons:

  • The boundary has been altered
  • Your neighbour has been using your land without realising

If you can’t find the correct listing in the deeds, you should search the Land Registry to identify who is responsible for either side of the fence.
