When purchasing land and someone has put a fence across part of it can you have them move the fence?

It depends upon where the fence is, who put it up, why it was put up, why it was put where it is, whether the previous owners had any agreement with the neighbors, who has been paying the taxes on the land on the other side, and how long the fence has been there, among other things.
In many places, putting up a fence becomes the newly defined boundary line, so you would no longer own anything on the other side of the fence if you failed to have it removed in a timely manner. It's called adverse possession.
If nothing was done in time, then the neighbor "owns" the land on the other side of the fence, regardless of what your deed may say.
Interestingly, even if they remove the fence after it has been there long enough to give the neighbor vested rights, you still don't get the ownership of that land back, and you may need a quitclaim deed from the neighbor. Good luck with that.

Definition of your side of the fence?
Well many fences are made with panels overlapping laths which have a rough and a smooth side (the rough side is the one where the supporting structure of the panels is visible). The convention is that if, on the deeds of the land, maintenance of the fence is your responsibility (you own it) then you erect the fence such that the neighbour sees the smooth side (out of courtesy). The fence therefore physically divides a piece of land between the ownership of two people and "your side of the fence' is the side with the land which you own. Further depending on who owns the fence your side of the fence could be rough or smooth.

Can you put up a fence with permission then land sold and i want to move it can i?
If you "put up" the fence, one might presume that you purchased the materials and provided the labor, making it "your" fence, even though it may be located on land owned by someone else. Under this theory you did not "give" them the fence; rather they "permitted" you to occupy part of their property with your fence. The fence did not get sold with the property, as it was not theirs to sell. You may reclaim your fence by asking permission to enter the property and remove your personal property; the fence. If the new owners do not permit you access, you can obtain permission from the court to enter the property to remove your fence, or obtain an order for the landowner to remove you fence and return it to you at your cost. It would help to have an affidavit from the previous owner that states it is your fence. If the previous owner disagrees, or the new owner claims the fence is now his, then you can sue the previous owner and new owner, jointly and severally, for the value of your fence that they have "converted" to their own personal use, or sue in replevin to obtain the return of your property. This will be a fine welcome to the neighborhood for the new owners!
