Just wanted to see if anyone has had any experiences with a situation I currently have.
The neighbour to one of my IP's has demolished his house with the intention of sub-dividing the block. The existing fence between our two properties still remains. Whilst it's an old fence, there's nothing wrong with it. The neighbour would like to replace it with a new colourbond fence. He is demanding I pay half. I don't have any objection to him putting up a new fence but I'm just as happy to have the old one remain. I don't think I should be forced into paying for half.
As someone who's done a development before, I've been trying to consider both sides to this but I keep coming back with the same answer.
Just wanted to get some thoughts or opinions on this.
Cheers
Andy
