I wouldn’t bother replacing, instead stick a new post next to the existing one, the two posts will strengthen the fence better.
As said if its on the left looking at your house its yours but chech boundaries .
I haven't heard of it being on the right.
A bottom fence can be more of a hassle but rule of thumb is good towards neighbours so you would be the owner.
Only time you may have the rails your side and it still be the neighbours is if your side is full of bushes and sheds ect so it cant be railed and boarded from your side.
I have one done this way but the neighbour paid for the fence and i put it up.
The post is what the rails are nailed too.
It would work and be a far quicker fix.
OP, this requires a 2foot deep hole, 1 8 foot post and a bag of post crete.
Cost around £20-£25 max.
Pop off 2 feather boards, dig hole, set post, nail or screw post to rails from boarded side, replace feather boards, get on with life.
Or he does it, you have to do this from his side Ideally or you need to remove 5 boards so you can climb through to dig it.
