Hi, my name is Vic and I am enquiring about our legal obligations to contribute to a retaining wall.
Our neighbours yard is collapsing in to our yard and they have requested that we pay for half the retaining wall to fix the poor state of the yard and boundary fence. We advised that we would be happy to pay for half of the new fence, however, the retaining wall, benfits them and therefore, should be up to them to pay for this portion. A retaining wall is needed to install a new boundary fence and the neighbours yard is on the high side to our property.
