Yes and no. The BOUNDRY usually belongs to the party on one side or the other, and it is their responsibility to maintain it. A FENCE may be bought and erected by either side but must not encroach on the land on the other side and technically if the side that does not own the boundary puts something ON the boundary without permission it's trespass and the owner could take it down.

It will be on The Land Registry plans. In the old days your solicitor's secretary used to use coloured pencils to highlight this on the docs you would go through during your purchase (one of Lady Poppy's previous jobs!) but these days it is denoted by symbols. The side of the boundary with the colour on it owns the boundary.
DJ - the pic you included seems to have some colour on it? Do a search on the Land Registry as you may be able to judge from their records.
Might be different in Scotland Bibs.
