The whole fence line is, well, interesting! If they had those bottom two level as you say, then the rear fence would end up about 6" off the ground to tie the levels in, or if they had the rest of the fence lower then by the time it was half way up the garden the plinths would be underground. The run into the front garden is going to end up that way pretty much, there's not much of a happy medium to be had I don't think. Strangely it did bug me when only the first two panels were in, but now the rest is up it doesn't. Our garden slopes pretty noticeably front to rear, given the front extends 4 panels past the shed to the front drive/garden.
Because the original fence wasn't on the right line, and our PIC drive was installed to the old fence line, if they followed our PIC edge then we'd lose about a foot+ of garden at the bottom. If they followed the rear fence line then the new one would end up a foot+ into the PIC - the last run was an absolute mess.

hindsight is a great thing,
but to be frank its a neat fencing job
the posts look like they are 600mm in the ground and overall its a good job
it gives me the right feeling about the firm doing it

Fence is from these guys, we're paying direct to save fees to the main contractor:
http://www.graemehowefencing.co.uk/
They've been around for a long time and their work is top notch - the posts are at least 8 foot in height, my wife got a little concerned when they brought them in, they were massive! Given the old ones were only 6 foot total (so just less than 12" under ground), these ones were noticeably longer! The work on the front where the plinths are next to the PIC is superb, still some stepping due to the drive slope, but unlike the old fence which had massive gaps under the plinths where the mud and weeds from next door continuously fell/grew through, this will be neatly cut in and all gaps filled.
Got this today ready for the grand opening....once it's not raining

Parking is a nightmare where we live, coach drop off is a good plan!

I would have used a laser on the fence and divided the steps across the whole length.

Starting the pergola today, rear fence is down too. Lattice is not being positioned there, just moved it while they sort the corner fence post with the neighbours existing fence - swapping the current two-way post for a 3-way for neatness:

Proper place for the pergola panels, two more to fit once the rear fence is done. I think there's a debate going on about how long it takes two men to dig half a hole

Where are the old fence panels going.?

Rear fence no idea, some saveable panels and posts our neighbour kept for their front fence which is fair given they bought it all originally.
