Hi there, If the fence is within your boundaries as outlined in your deeds, this would belong to yourself. Otherwise, as a general rule, if you stand at the back of your garden, look at your house, everything on the left hand side belongs to yourself. You can place a dispute and legally move the fence to the boundaries of your deeds. I'd recommend contacting your local district authority for further guidance. Many thanks, Adam
