The Legal Risk Score of a Fencing and Maintenance Agreement Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • There is a risk associated with the responsibility for maintenance costs being solely on one party, as this could lead to financial disparities and disagreements over the extent and cost of necessary maintenance.
  • The permission for one party to enter the other party's property for fence inspection or maintenance might lead to potential privacy concerns or disputes regarding the appropriateness of entry times and notice given.
  • The requirement for one party to pay a specified percentage of any maintenance costs incurred by the other could result in unexpected financial obligations if maintenance costs are higher than anticipated or not clearly substantiated.
