    I am going to erect fences for my Brisbane IP as there is no fence between my IP and neighbour when I bought it.

    The neighbour is an IP with tenants. I have the owner's contact thro Brisbane Council. What the best approach to ask next door owner share the new fence costs?

    I am getting the fence quote for the following specifications:

    Timber Paling fence
    1.8m height
    100x100mm posts
    600mm depth for posts' concrete

    The IP is in the good SE suburb within 10km from CBD and is planning to sold by next year. Do you think the paling fence with above spec is good or should I save money by erecting lower fence?

    I'd say it very much depends on the style of the houses and the height and style of the surrounding fences. You want the new fence to fit in with what is around it.
