To get your neighbour to pay for the half, they have to be presented with the quotes BEFORE fence is built in the first place. You neighbour can choose to agree the lowest price of the quotes. And if you want to go with higher costs ones, you either have to convince neighbour to agree with you or you will have to pay for the extra on top of the lowest quote. In your case, none of these happened. So good luck! Re: yet another fence dispute 13Aug 25, 2019 6:38 am If a block of land is vacant and not sold and you start to build a fence then after that fence is built the block of land is sold you are entitled to $0 from the new neighbours for this fence. You would have had to ask the developer for money and in most cases there are rules stating developers and not liable for fencing costs, same rules apply to council IE if U back onto a reserve council doesn't pay half your fencing costs. I would take the 30%. Different councils have different rules but where I live a hedge can be considered a fence for purposes of paying half and you need to present quotes prior to building. You can go to tribunal through your council but for sake of extra 20% to have a life of neighbours hating you I wouldn't do it but up to you.
