Paint your side the same colour. If they had asked you and you said no, what would you expect to happen next?

I do that regularly tbf, obviously taking care to ensure it doesn’t leak through to their side.

There’s nowt they can do, is there?

Are you planning to take it down? No didn't think so.

If I was planning to take it down though, I'd go out and say oh I'm replacing that next week, you might want to hold off on the painting.

I’d just let them but tell them to be careful abs use good quality paint . Technically they should ask permission as it’s your property not there’s

If they have to look at it in their garden, they should get to decide what they’re looking at. I wouldn’t be a jobsworth about it for the sake of it

Only the owner of the fence may make any changes to it, even where the other side of the fence is on neighbouring property. This means that if you erect a fence in your garden, your neighbour must ask for permission before painting or staining their side of it. Similarly, they may not grow trailing plants up it or any similar activity which may cause it damage.

Are people that territorial about it?

Fuck, if I can get away with someone else maintaining it, total result.

Technically ou right of course but if everyone tried to enforce that there would be neighbour disputes in every corner of every street

Yea you may of bought the fence but in hindsight if it’s on their side it’s their fence to paint.

I’d graffiti their front door and plant a tree in the middle of their drive, see how they like a taste of their own medicine

Nah I'm on the dark web hiring a hitman to dispatch justice on this unruly neighbour. How dare they paint part of the fence I'll never see again.

If it's staying up, let them paint, it's not like I'd see it anyway. If I were taking it down for whatever reason, I'd give them a heads up so they don't waste their time. Simples

It's a bit awkward depending on your neighbour.

In an ideal world they'd knock the door and say "d'you mind?" And you'd say "not at all!" Then they'd do a fantastic job and you all live happily ever after.

But in reality you'd probably say yes all the while hoping they don't pick a vile colour and make a dog's dinner of it all over your side too. Then there'd be debate over ownership since they'd 'maintained' it and they'd be half-inching a few inches of your property line whilst they're at it.

It's in the papers every other week ffs, people are hard work sometimes/usually/mostly

I suppose I care as it does leak through and think it unfair to splatter the spiders living in it. Cos of high winds I'm putting in a hedge. I didn't notice until she slmost completed it as she is little .

Exactly. Our neighbours painted their side of our fence without permission, and the cheap, white watery paint dripped though to our side. I wouldn't have minded if they done a tidy job, now I feel like I have to paint our side again. Can't really be arsed, but it looks quite untidy.

Wouldn't give a dam.

It's not a thing I need to add to my mental load.

Technically they shouldn't. But then technically we aren't supposed to eat Christmas pudding on Christmas day ( or have I fallen for another urban legend law thing?).
