I dont mind paying for the fence tbh, theyre not exactly expensive IIRC but its the errection of the fence which looks to be a PITA, something Ive not done before but I guess would be easy enough.
If you do have a few bob to spare I would use a fencing contractor rather than d-i-y. Depends on fence type, of course, but say you want a close boarded panel fence then it's hard work. Panels aren't too bad but fence posts will need to be substantial to take wind load from panels for example. And don't forget old posts will need to come out and they could have a blob of concrete at bottom of post 2 foot underground
A trip to Jewsons or similar will soon give you an idea of material costs.
Don't assume house deeds will always state who owns the fence but worth checking. dl
