Several years ago we bought our place in Montana and the survey, conducted before final closing by the Sellers, indicated that there was not a piece of boundary fence on any property line.(Some lines were 15-25 feet in error) In addition, the fence was in poor shape with less than 1/3 of the posts holding the wire up.
I contacted the surrounding neighbors, told them what the problem was and told them that I intended to have the fence on the property lines, "as surveyed" since that's what we bought to, and if they had any complaints, to please make them known before we closed on the place.All of them were extremely cooperative and most stated they would help build half of the fence when we wanted to replace the existing line.
I'm presuming that there is no dispute regarding the property line and so I would strongly advise you to have a face to face discussion with the new neighbor and explain your position on the need for a new fence. Listen to his reason for wanting a 5 wire fence. (Perhaps you could spit the cost of a extra wire to make a 5 wire fence out of the existing fence if the reasoning is good or just for good will.) By all means try not to make this a legal fight if at all possible. It'll just poison your relationship with your neighbor, cause you a lot of grief and money and it may not be resolved in your favor.
just my opinion.
