Buy Fencing Direct's updated guide details the practical first steps. Title plans and those uninspiring "T" marks are the priority. If there is a "T" on one side, responsibility for upkeep falls to that property; if two Ts form an "H," the obligation is shared equally. If the plan is silent, which is not uncommon in old houses, the advice progresses to other options that are considered reliable: examining Land Registry records, obtaining a professional survey and inspecting council planning information.

The new infographic condenses all details into a one-page visual explainer, viewable on a phone, shareable with neighbours, and designed to reduce the need to contact a solicitor.

"Thousands of people struggle with understanding fence boundaries every week," says a spokesperson at Buy Fencing Direct. "The guide offers practical advice that can be applied in five minutes. No legalese, no finger-pointing, just clear guidance on where to check, what to request, and how to maintain friendly relations."

The guide also defies one of Britain's most enduring garden myths: that there's a general "left-hand" or "right-hand" rule, this is not true. Buy Fencing Direct's infographic takes its place firmly in the "ignore this" column and reverses readers toward official guidelines and professional guidance as appropriate.

"The same trends are being seen," Buy Fencing Direct said. A panel may rot, winter storms can displace posts, or the 'good' side of a fence may be painted incorrectly. In most cases, issues can be resolved by reviewing the title plan and discussing the situation with neighbours. When disputes persist, mediation is preferable to ongoing conflict." (Source: GOV.UK)

The infographic clarifies responsibilities: the property owner is responsible for repairs, shared fences require written agreement, and alterations to a neighbour's fence cannot be made without permission. The guidance is direct, reflecting the straightforward nature of the law.
