When building a barrier, is it supposed to be right on the property strip or do you hold to go away a certin space?
If you put it on the line, your neighbor is "supposed" to pay 50% of the total bill. Whenever you and your neighbor group in the middle to talk at the balustrade, each of you owns what's on your right side. If you put up the fence on your side, "YOU" and the subsequent owner is responsible for 100% of the total bill and "ALL" future maintenance, repair, and replacement to include mowing and trimming. Above adjectives things make "AB-SO-LUTELY" sure where the property queue is...This may take a surveyor. Be very wise. Someone I work with putup a fence and gone a few feet only to after that have his neighbor put up a stone wall right next to the balustrade thus claiming the few feet as his. Lots of law suits followed. Ask your town passageway!
I would fashion sure that NONE of the fence sits on the property line, otherwise you could hold a potential easement dispute with the neighbors. Best to leave a few foot if you can and not have to worry something like it later on.
I had assumed that the location of the property procession is not in danger of disagreement. If to be precise a possibility, then get a surveyor to splodge the precise boundaries with stakes and flags and orange cassette.
Answers: Its your choice.. and your neigbors too perhaps. try these questions:
1) Who is paying for it?
2) Who will carry on it?
3) Has everyone agreed on it (shape/style) and its location?
4) What happens if it needs to be moved?
The answers to these question will guide you in where you are going to place the balustrade.
a) If you place it on the property line it is going to be the property of the land owners that share that boundary.. THis technique that you will not be able to control what happens to the other side of the wall since you do not own it.
b) If you place it fully inside your property you will own both sides of the fence. If this is important after build it there and notify the neghbors that:
.. You have placed the obstruction inside your property
... You are not giving up any rights to the small strip of land you own on the other side of the fence.
c) If you place it within an agreed location, without regards to the boundary strip, be sure to write up a document that, basically, says it is only just a fence and not a boundary... consider adding info in the region of the other questions above (maintenance, ownership, etc..) just to be complete, and after sign, notarize and record this fence dash agreement. In this way, when you or the neighbor or the heirs get rid of the property, a future buyer will already be on notice that the wall is not the boundary and can therefore not complain (or sue) if the boundary is not where he expected.
ok.. too much info?
