Should I offer to split the cost of building a new fence?
Hello! I moved into my current house 3 years ago. My next door neighbor already had a fence up on one end. Now a new family moved in behind my house few months back. And he put up a fence around his house and that took care of the back. Should I offer to split the cost of the fence that adjoins the backyards? If so, am I obligated to pay something to my next door neighbor as well? eventhough the fence was there before I moved in? I may eventually put up a fence on my own… What's the unspoken good neighbor policy? Thanks!

My neighbor has offered me that for any piece of wood that goes from my fence , that needs replacing he/she would be willing topay for it. I thought that this offer was nice since both sides adjunct to their yard. Nevertheless, I never took advantage of them. But out of courtesy I would hold a BBQ with the two new neighbors and slightly find a way of communication about it. See what they have to offer you. Good lucki. It always helps to be neighborly.
