    Have a site I bought off Farmer. It is surrounded by his land. What obligations has he to fence off the site? My house is built a year and I was onto him to fence in his livestock at the back of the house as there was only an electric wire running behindthe site.
    He fenced the back area and wanted me to go halves. I said no as I felt I paid a substantial amount for the site and he was obliged to fence in his livestock. He has completed the fencing at the back.
    Dilemma now is that he has a site next to me. I want to run fencing on this side and I was going to ask him to go halves. Does he have any obligations under the law? looking for some guidance here.

    Should have thought ahead, I'd imagine he has to do nothing and you should learn from this :)

    What makes you think that any legal enforcement of shared costs in party boundaries won't be retrospective? If you legally force your neighbour to pay for a shared fence - he can use the same to make you pay for the fence he put up.

    Personal view here (nothing legal): Life's a two way street, except you seem to think you can make it a one way system just to suit you?

    And I think that justabout answers the OP's query.
