I'm likely to have 4 neighbors who I'm sharing a fence with. One block next to me has been sold, there are another two blocks on a side but these haven't been sold yet, and behind me isn't under development at this stage, but will be eventually? If it makes a difference none of the blocks that have been sold have even titled yet, and nor has mine. Developers usually put in a clause in your land contract saying they only have to contribute $1 towards fencing on land they still own. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Wow, **!

If that block has been developed and is for sale and hasn't titled yet but has been sold would the buyer have to put in money for the fence?

That is when water and sewerage charges kick in and council rates etc. Re: Fence before build - neighbor dispute 20Mar 28, 2017 1:44 pm Hurrow I find it often helps to try and think about it from their point of view. They have a completed house, may well have small children or a dog who they want to keep in the yard and at the very least probably want a bit of privacy. It makes sense for them to get the fence up now, particularly given that it's going to have to go up sooner or later. Is there any particular reason you don't want to put the fence up now? 100% agree with this. I have a small child and I would want the fence up straight away for the safety of my child. If I asked for payment and you weren't willing to pay, there would be no fixing of the relationship and I would tell you to never ever ask for a favour. yes it does, you've just not understood it. theres a difference. 4 5635 Building a fence now will help limit people dumping rubbish and soil on your property.
