drains into a gutter at one end.
My problem is that he has had a leaking overflow for at least 4 weeks now
and I have asked him to fix the leak and reminded him that he said (a couple
of years ago) that he would put a gutter on his bit between us.
He has said that he is waiting for a plumber and there is no need for any
extra guttering as this is how the houses were designed.
What can I do??

Check the deeds for drainage rights. These usually cover downpipes from guttering draining onto your land but the same applies to any drainage or spill of water onto your property. I had a similar problem with the business next door with over a 100 feet of guttering overflowing onto my building and into the garden. Once I had politely offered to meet some of the costs (which is not necessary but neighbourly) they had workman round post haste- they even unblocked two of my drains!
Good luck.
