Would the builder replace the bkyrd fence on a new home lot? I have 3 neighbor been there at least 3yrs.?
My house is being built by village builders, Tereavista (Austin, TX) the spec sheet state new fence backyard.
The current neighbors (left, two back, right) These houses been there at least 3 yrs. The fence is warp, leaning to my property line. The builder rep say they only add a new fence connecting at the front sides of the house to the 2 neighbors on my left & right. He say , i can bring up the issue when I go through the walk through inspection 1 week prior to closing.
My arguement is that the spec list for in the house, states backyard fence included. I would expect them to built new fence on my property line, which would be okay for me or replace the existing wood fence. I’m plaining to have my own 3rd party inspector with me during the walk through with the seller inspector.

Some HOA’s state that all fences are considered "shared fences" meaning that you and your neighbor have to split the cost for the new fence. With this said I doubt that your builder will give you a new fence since your present yard will be fenced in, even though you don’t like the appearance of your neighbors fence. The best option is to talk to your builder and your neighbors and try to get then to split the costs between themselves.
