The OP does not indicate that - my assumption was that the builder had
perhaps adjusted he level and caused the problem.

Then someone should sue the builder. *Meanwhile, the neighbours are in
the dark, unless they read this newsgroup and can work out that the
anonymous poster is in fact their neighbour.

Sounds like joint effort?


That's exactly what it should be.


Previuos owner/s-builder having been
responsible for altering the landscape. Problem maybe if OPs land
'founders' into neighbours either naturally or after being disturbed
by any activity at all!!!!!


You cannot blame a previous occupant for what happens after someone
buys the house. Caveat Emptor. The current occupant's solicitor and
surveyor should have identified - and sorted - this problem before the
purchase was completed.
