I have a side fence with concrete posts in my back garden that I bought, within my boundary. My neighbour has drilled into the posts and erected his own fence. This is about 7ft high on my side,but only 2.1m high on his side. How do I get him to remove it and put his own posts up?.The council does not want to know.I am considering cutting down my posts as a last resort. What do I do to get him to remove his fence from my posts?.I do not get on with the neighbour and want to know what I legally have to do to get him to remove his fence from mine?.
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?
Give him a written time line to remove his fence attached to your then you can either cut your posts down or start legal proceedings, if you cut down your post without notice he maybe able to sue you for damaging his property.you can if you want pursue him for damage to your posts you will need an independent survey report you could try talking to him depends on how upset or how petty you want to be.
Good luck alex
Hi there you need to send him a letter explain your removing your fence posts which his fence is attached to give him 14 days to complete this task explain that on the letter . If the task is not carried out in the time set which is a reasonable request you have the full right to remove your fence posts which will take his fencing down . If your so this and the neighbor starts to confront you and gets aggressive or abusive just contact the police straight away and let him know you are doing this . I have had many instances like yours and this is the best way to resolve them make sure you keep and photograph if the letter you send and also take a photo of you putting it through his letterbox incase he denies you have sent him the letter . Hope this helps you and good luck

Unfortunately unless you ask your neighbour to remove it there isn't a lot you can do other than ask them to pay damages .which would mean going through small claims court .which can be costly.
There is one thing I could mention and that fences should be under 6ft 4 inches otherwise you need planning permission. So you could say to him u want it 6ft or under
My advise would be to see a solicitor about this. Or go to citizens advice. Do not take post's down otherwise you could end up paying to replace his fence
