What Is a Property Boundary Agreement?
A Property Boundary Agreement is a legally binding document that confirms the exact position of your property lines. It can be used to settle uncertainties about boundary fences, walls, hedges, or any shared structures between properties. This agreement often becomes essential when:
- The boundary fence rules are unclear.
- There are conflicts over who owns the boundary fence.
- Neighbours disagree about fence boundary rules or boundary maintenance.
- Changes in land surveys or property deeds have caused confusion.
Once signed by all parties and registered, it becomes enforceable and is recognised in future property sales.
Why Is a Property Boundary Agreement Important?
-
1. Prevent Boundary Disputes with Neighbours
Disagreements over laws on fencing between neighbours can quickly turn into stressful legal battles. A formal agreement defines exactly where your fence boundary or wall application lies, preventing misunderstandings.
2. Clarify Legal Responsibilities
If you’ve ever wondered, “Who is responsible for a boundary fence?” or “Who owns boundary fences?”, a boundary agreement will settle it in writing. This includes rules for shared boundary fence replacement and ongoing boundary maintenance.
3. Compliance with UK Laws
We ensure your agreement aligns with laws about fences in the UK, including fences and planning permission requirements, boundary fence rules UK, and even the new laws on fencing between neighbours UK.
