"If your deeds don't show the boundaries at all, you'll need to search the Land Registry. For a small fee, they will provide you with the title deeds to your property, which will help you to identify who is responsible for which fence."

"Title plans are one of the best ways to see which fence belongs to your property. Title plans may feature a 'T' mark showing many of your property's boundaries, and who is responsible for maintaining them. A 'T' mark on one side of the boundary indicates that the person on that side is responsible for the fence."
