When I was young I learned that fence facing etiquette is to have the

(1) Is this a law in places?
(2) Is this the same etiquette in the UK?

I saw it in building code (Florida or doing a Google?) as you state.
Just bought a house with fences situated that way, about 3" inside
property line according to survey. *I've never given it much thought,
but looking at a home from off the property it might look rather odd to
see the back side of fence.

Amazing that code forces your neighbor to provide 'access' in order to
properly put in that fence. Else the neighbor gets the 'ugly' side.
