Hi,
I bought my first house last August, so I'm skint. Its the only mid terraced house in a row of semi detached houses. The houses are four years old and are separated by standard timber fences. My neighbours on one side who are lovely people have decided to replace the boundary fence with a wall and have asked me if I would like to contribute financially. I am very happy with the rickety fence and a wall is the last thing on my list of priorities at the moment. Good neighbourliness is an important value to me so I have responded by telling them that I will think about it and to get back to me with cost. I have asked my friends and they all say that I should contribute to the cost of the wall. Any advice on an appropriate response would be most appreciated.
Many thanks,
Tangerine
