Heard horror stories about problems with plants/gardens etc in neighbour disputes and don't want to start one....but
My neighbours are horrid and I need to attach some vine eyes in their fence to support my grape vines. Am I allowed to without permission? Obviously I'm talking about doing it on the side of the fence in my garden.

i have just put up a new fence in my garden ...
my neighbours had a few bits secured onto it (the old fence)
personally i couldnt care less if they re-secure them on 'my' new fence!
IMO it may be my fence but its there side of the garden and i wont see it
IMO life is too short to make a fuss about such mundane things, each to their own and all that!
maybe im to laid back but hey!

It is only an exception if implicitely stated in the deeds.

It is definately THEIR fence, no dispute over that. Talking to them over the fence is not an option as we've got some horrible history with them. Could sneakily put the vine eyes in without them knowing because it wouldn't go through but just want to know if I'm actually ALLOWED to do it or not.

We have painted our side of the fence and the fence belongs to our neighbour. We have also put trellis up on another fence that belongs to another neighbour. They didnt complain. We also had a tree cut down that was on one of the other neighbours land, as it was leaning into our garden, but we asked him first and we paid for it.

You should start a new thread really @ROSEMARY666. If it's your fence on your land she's committed acts of criminal damage by attaching things to it without your permission.
Do you know the owner or the agent who is managing the place? If so, I would write to them enclosing a copy of the title plan for your house, which you can download from the gov.uk Land Registry website for £3, showing it's your fence on your land with photos showing what's been attached and giving them 14 days to remove the various items.
Point out that it's criminal damage as you do not consent/have not consented and that you have asked the tenant to remove the items but she has refused.
Send a copy of the letter to the tenant.

Absolutely agree with Movinghouseatlast! There's no such thing as "which side" of the house the fence is, etc. The ownership, and therefore, responsibility of the fence (no matter which side) is usually indicated in the deeds. I own and live in a "end of terrace" house. Coming in from the front door, to my left is my immediate neighbour; at the back garden of which is a fence that belongs to me that seperates the two properties. To my right, there is a side road (public road) on this side of which sits my "right-hand side" fence which also belongs to me. I therefore, am responsible and own all 3 sides of my back garden fences i.e. left, right and centre (back). My neighbours know I own the fences and wouldn't interfere with any part(s) of them.
