Fence question

[Frodo88]

Hi,

I've read the act and pretty sure I'm correct but second opinion would be helpful.

I own a house that is on a cross lease with another house, directly behind ours.

There is a fence that runs both houses on cross lease and the neighbours, the neighbour...

I own section 14A of a property under a crosslease, while 14B is owned by someone else. There is a driveway which only provides access to the...

Hi

1. I have an old plaster fence at my IP that is broken away and collapsing. If I remove and replace the fence with a brick or wooden fence, is this tax deductible as an expense, or capitalised and depreciated?

2. I have a outside wooden door that is starting to rot and wont...

We live on a very busy 4 lane road, also with a train opposite so the...

Any good lawyer recommendations regarding a fencing dispute on a crosslease site. I believe both the memorandum of lease and the fencing act has been breached. Location, preferably Auckland Central or Mount Eden.

We have a neighbour who is causing us a lot of grief.

Firstly, he pulled the fence down (that was 30cm on his land) without notifying us. He is apparently entitled to do this as it was on his land. It has however taken away our privacy.

We then served him fencing notice to...

My Neighbour feels 30cm of his property is on my side of the fence. This has become really bad. Lawyers etc. and already costing a fortune. I measured his boundary poles (no pegs) and it is correct as per the Council plan, not even 1cm out. I'm willing to give him the 30cm but all I ask is, do it via...

Hi everyone

I'm building a fence but I can't decide between using shiplap or T&G (tongue and groove) palings. I heard that T&G provides a stronger joint and gives a superior finish but is more likely to warp and if/when it shrinks the joint may come out resulting in a gap. However...

My family live in an "bush living environment" up a steep driveway shared by three properties, fortunately we have a positive easement across our neighbours properties - last house of three on the drive.

The neighbour whose property is directly next to us (in the middle of three)...

Can my neighbour legally sell land to me, so I can increase the size of my section, as he borders me on two sides. It doesn't affect anyone else as we live in the country.

I have recently purchased a property which has a large Gum Tree that I want to cut down as it is a nuisance tree, drops both leaves and gum, the root system is causing concrete damage and drainage issues. The tree is on the eastern edge of the property and I have had compaints from two neighbours on...

Hi...is it legal to build a shed (for tools and firewood) between the house and fence. It would be touching both so no room between?
There is currently a standard wooden fence between the two which acts as the pool fence but thinking since it's a dead space behind it, it would be perfect for a...
