FAQ
Generally, if you go onto your neighbour's land without their permission, you are trespassing. However, if you need to repair your home and to do so need access via your neighbour's land, you may go onto your neighbour's land without getting their permission.
There is no law that you have to give your neighbors the better side and if they want a nicer fence they can put their own in their garden.
If responsibility for the boundary is shared, like in the case of a party fence wall, for instance, then a H-mark (two T-marks mirrored on the boundary line) is the symbol conventionally used and it'll indicate that any repair bills should be split 50/50.
If someone has damaged your fence then you are well within your rights to seek repair or pay a professional to correct the damages. if you have clear evidence of damage and your neighbour is the only one who could be responsible then you have a solid case.
