The Case of the New Neighbor’s Fence! | Part 1

[@Bread996]

I just had a fence put in. I called my neighbor to come outside so we could look at the property markers together. We both agreed on the markers before I had the work done. It is so worth it to communicate with your neighbors.

[@vannem2688]

Yes!

[@katherineduke3232]

What?! Co-existing as neighbors in a positive and respectful way?! No no no this is America... we don't do that here. We sue over 1ft encroachment!

They are. You should not build on other peoples’ property. If you want more land, you should have bought more land.

[@queenbee3647]

I put in a new fence and spent $3000. It was a BIG yard. I called a surveyor and got THE FACTS instead of rumor. He put the pins in the proper place and my neighbor kept moving them - which is against the law. It is akin to stealing. Long story short they thought I didnt have a right to fence the yard since they liked to cut through. That stopped when our three large dogs arrived.

We had a fence that needed to be replaced but a tree was growing causing the fence the terribly lean. We went and talk to our neighbor and he said if you pay for the fence I’ll sell you the extra 2feet for $1. Good neighbors are hard to come by

[@skygazer858]

My neighbor and I have a pretty much abandoned town road between our properties. After many years, we got together and hired a lawyer to petition the town to have it closed and re-deeded to both of us split evenly. We both required that the deeds make it clear that the drive down the middle is joint property for ever. We realize that any future owners might not be as friendly to each other as we are. Heck, I don't even call the cops when his massive watch pugs attack me in the back yard. 😂 I do tell him that I'm glad he decided against having dogs.

[@UncleDuTheWatchman]

There are people in the world who abhor peace and will take issue with every neighbor that they can. That's what I gather from cases like this.

[@BeaBelfastVideos]

I agree. However people should address and settle these land disputes, otherwise they can cause more problems down the line (excuse the pun 😄) when selling/buying property.

[@kittyfan]

we have trouble like that in Canada. New neighbours....or sometimes even older neighbours who are putting in new fences try to take 3=4 ft of their neighbours property. And these are small backyards.

[@2013Arcturus]

My mother had a survey done to install a shed on the SAME DAY the neighbor was putting up a fence. They were encroaching my mothers lout by 15 FEET along the back line leading to a couple hundred square foot wedge being sliced off her side. There had been a flimsy chicken wire fence between the two forever that it seems he was inching over every couple years when he replaced it, and over 15 years they didn't notice. (the back line is a wooded area) After that he was always a salty ahole and would say stuff like "you're welcome for taking care of your lawn" The important thing is, if that stuff isn't checked, after decades the lot lines can be grandfathered in some locations. If you own a home it's important to have your lot surveyed at least once.

[@barcelonachair6487]

We put a fence re-model in the front which bordered with our neighbour. To make it look continuous, we asked them if they didn't mind if we changed our design, or if we could just re-model theirs too at our expense and we could agree on a new look together. They really appreciated the offer, we have always been great neighbours. Even when we did the side fence upgrade a years later, there wasn't any dispute over property lines, even though the overgrowing of trees had shifted things. It just didn't matter.

[@lestat13666]

Literally in Australia if a single fence post was slightly damaged, we don’t take people to court. This is so ridiculous.

[@Phyoomz]

We just bought a house last month (corner property, only touches 2 others), and our realtor and attorney were adamant that we get the survey... I watched a few videos online that said they were optional... I tell the lawyer as much, within 5 minutes he emails me a checklist of pros and cons for the survey. We change our mind and I call back about 20 minutes later, and before I even say anything, he answers the phone with "I'm glad you decided to change your mind." 🤣 Friggin lawyers

[@RocLobo358]

It's good you listened to your lawyer. He gets paid even more the second you have to make a claim for undisclosed faults. You can lose everything. Consider the incentives of videos innocently suggesting inspections are useless. You don't know who they are or their incentives. They could be house flippers or sellers agents. Don't give away your access to diligence simply because someone on the internet suggests it. Yeah you'll spend a few hundred but the downsides are far higher

What’s interesting about my family is most of my relatives live in the country,and most of them don’t use fences except maybe within their property for animals. I guess because all the “neighbors” are related. But then some of my relatives who live in towns don’t have fences or only partial fences. They never seem to get into these property line disputes.

[@julietteoscaralphanovember2223]

We moved into a new development and had a fence installed because i have dogs, but I made sure that I'm on the inside of my property lines, 2 feet on each side. I figured if I ever go to sell it, I won't have any issues with my fence. I did let both neighbors on either side of me, hook their fences to mine so we wouldn't have two fences running side by side and have to worry about mowing or weeding in between them. So, if they go to sell their homes, the new owners might have an issue but it would be their problem, not mine.

I bought a house (middle one of three houses) and the 'property line' between the houses was a row of ugly metal posts connected by wire. I told the neighbours on both sides that I wanted to put up fencing (4ft of solid fence topped with 2ft of trellis). The neighbour on one side offered to pay for half of that fence, and even helped me take up the old metal posts so that we could put up the new fence along the same line exactly .. but the wife of the neighbour on the other side said that she didn't want me to touch the posts and she didn't want a fence 'on her property' and so I put the fence on that side up 'just' inside the line of posts (which meant that I lost 6 inches of 'my' garden on that side). When her husband came home he wasn't happy that the old posts were still there, but I just refered him to his wife who (thank goodness) had written out her instructions about the fence on a piece of paper.

I don't understand those who have commented that one foot is nothing. Seriously??? How do you know that this one foot is not going to lead to more consequences in the future?

[@hhxichikk]

My moms neighbors are pretty horrible. There was no dispute about the property line but they down right refused to help pay for the new one. The wife even broke a section after it went up. But now they need to do work on their pipes and it turns out their pipes run along my moms house on her side of the fence and they need her permission to do work on them in her yard 😏 Which she has refused thus far. They can't do anything about it. You get what you give. We were given nothing so they're getting nothing.

The orange property marker stakes that are permanent in the ground are so you can see at all times so no need to do a survey every time a neighbor argues about it they can pay hundreds to get a survey if they want one so bad.

[@lulu-iz7bv]

It is always a mistake to let someone build a fence even a little bit on your property. After a period of time (which varies from state to state), it will become their property, because they have been maintaining it. I tell you this from experience. My father was a nice guy and let it go... And then the neighbor sold his house to someone, who razed it and is building a large commercial enterprise. No zoning laws in my neck of the woods. Yes, I am sure. I can't tell you how much my father regrets being the nice guy. Judge Judy doesn't have to worry about those kinds of things, so she thinks that they are petty. They are not.
