Complete your new home with a Housing Estate Fence.

Front yard fencing is rarely included by a builder or developer, meaning you and your neighbours on a new estate will all be in the same boat. Why not work together and coordinate your new fence installation? If you’re not sure where to turn, you can count on Jim’s Fencing to provide the answers.

What are the benefits of a neighbourhood fencing style?

A unique modern fence is the perfect finishing touch for a new modern home, or the ideal accent to complete a renovation. Choosing a modern feature fence makes your new build stand out, and with a wide range of options to choose from, you have plenty of creative freedom too!

By working with your neighbours as a group, you will often be able to negotiate a discounted rate for residents of your development with your fencing contractor. If multiple homeowners are using the same contractor to fence their homes, you’re sure to get great value on your boundary fencing.

When one homeowner chooses a brick wall with slat fencing while the others choose tubular fencing, it can create a look that clashes.

It’s better to work as a group and engage a professional fencing contractor like Jim’s Fencing. We can recommend a fencing style that suits the architectural style of your residential estate.

A unified style makes for an eye-catching and fashionable look for the entire street, which can even increase the value of your home.

Not only that, but coordinating your fencing with your neighbours can give everyone a sizable cost saving during the installation process.

Who pays for the cost of Fencing on new Estates

The new owner is almost always responsible for the cost of installing a fence on a new estate. And because fences are shared, fencing costs are shared too.

The team at Jim’s Fencing is experienced in all things estate fencing, including drawing up quotes and arranging for neighbourhood fence installation. If you need advice or want to get the ball rolling, talk to someone from our friendly team.

From new fence installation to repairs, you are usually splitting those costs with your neighbours who share that fence line. That means if you share boundaries with two of your neighbours, any costs for the property’s fence are going to be divided three ways.

The law states that when a fence needs to be built, neighbours that share boundaries have to contribute equally for a fence to be built to the minimum standard. However that doesn’t mean that if your neighbour wants a fancy or elaborate fence that you are going to be stuck with a bigger bill.

Legally, you are only required to pay for half of what is considered to be a standard fence for your estate. However, in most cases, neighbours can come to a happy agreement about what kind of fence they’d like and how much to spend on it.
