Neighbours take matters into their own hands after a 'hazardous' fence was built on their property

They sent the neighbour a letter telling her that she had 24 hours to remove the fence.

Yet, when the woman failed to respond, the pair decided to take matters into their own hands.

The couple decided to build a new fence along the border to challenge their neighbour, who they dubbed as “Karen”.

The fence, stretching 2 metres long, cost the couple £400.

The pair posted their efforts online to their TikTok followers.

They entitled the video: “Dear #karenneighbour please remove your dilapidated and hazardous fence.”

• Couple 'can't live in £275,000 home' after neighbour cuts off their power supply - 'it's a nightmare!'

They wrote: “We gave 'Karen' 24 days written notice to remove her fence from our land.”

Showing off their handywork, a caption for the video said: “Looks good - total cost for materials £400.”

“Neighbour disputes fall under civil matters,” the woman added in the video.

The TikTok video received an influx of responses, leading to the posters deciding to turn off the comments.

Boundary disputes are extremely common in the UK, with professionals at timber and supply store Lawsons explaining: “As there are many older properties in the UK, there are some complex situations with regard to boundaries.

“Old by-laws, rights of way and historically altered gardens may all contribute to the confusion which sometimes arises.”

Earlier this month, a row erupted online after a man who was fed up with his neighbour dumping leaves over the fence took matters into his own hands.

Josh, from Minnesota, posted videos of his neighbour dumping leaves over their shared fence into his garden.

The video went viral on TikTok, with the clip racking up more than 220,000 views.

After this, Josh decided to enact an intricate revenge plan.

In the most viewed video of the exchange, captioned 'Part 2 Don't be a Larry,' Josh and two friends returned armed with two backpack leaf blowers and one standalone leaf blower.

The group then proceed to blow the heaps of leaves back into the neighbour’s garden.

Josh's neighbour then emerged with an attempt to defend his garden using his own smaller leaf blower.

The video split opinion on social media, with one user writing: “Looks like he’s just returning your leaves… I mean your yard is literally all leaves.. lol.”

However, others defended the neighbour, with one saying: “I mean, the person has zero trees in their yard. You should have to pay to have their yard cleaned..”
