Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building at Willowdale 3136Jul 01, 2018 12:38 pm hi SKB Where exactly are you building because i am in tge same boat tooquote="SkB"]Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone has successfully recovered Fencing costs from the neighbours. Our new house will be ready soon and need a fence to be installed before we move in. There is no house on the adjoining and rear land (they've applied for DA). I've sent letters to the owners but haven't heard back from them as yet. The letter clearly describes the fence material, heigh, length, location, estimated cost and contribution. Since I've not heard back from them I'm wondering if I should proceed with the fence and attempt to recover the cost at a later stage. My concern is if this matter gets escalated what chances do I have since the fence was built prior to coming to an agreement. Thanks[/quote] Re: Building at Willowdale 3137Jul 01, 2018 2:05 pm If you are concerned about the money then you should either wait to get in touch with them or proceed and hope they will do the right thing. They are not obliged to pay half if you do it without their consent.

They are not obliged to pay half if you do it without their consent. They're obligated to share the cost as per law. They may decide not to build for years and may choose to ignore the letters, in that case we will never have an agreement or their consent. But for a house that is complete, a fence is required.

You don’t need a fence up to get Occupancy Certificate. Good luck getting any money back via arbitration or legally....best to get consent or hope the neighbour will do the right thing once they start building. If you relying on getting money back....speak to owners or wait till you get in touch someday. Re: Building at Willowdale 3140Jul 01, 2018 6:59 pm We had this issue at my parents place (in NSW, but different local council). We had a dog so needed fences, neighbouring on one side hadnt started building. They verbally agreed to pay "when they could" - 5 years later it took asking nicely (repeatedly), offering installments, taking it down the legal route, being told we were entitled to the money legally, but not having a way to get the money, and then finally they relented and gave the cash to my parents. They had been living in the house about 3.5 years by the time they paid. They are supposed to pay half the cost of the cheapest type of fence, so in theory if you wanted something fancy youd pay any extra above a regular fence. If you can wait, I would wait until they live there as it might be easier to have the discussion. vs07 SkB vs07 If you are concerned about the money then you should either wait to get in touch with them or proceed and hope they will do the right thing.
