Hi
There are 5 new buildings either built or building on the street we are building. Ours is a fourth house. The first house, ours and the fifth one are all built by three different builders and are on the same height above the surface. The second and the third house (built by the same builder) are raised.
Problem: Fencing between the third house and the fourth (ours).
The fencing requires retaining wall which my neighbours are not willing to pay for. He is saying that our builders scraped too low so we need to pay for the extras required for the retaining wall.
Our builders are saying they followed all building guidelines and that the neighbours raised their building.
Who is responsible to pay for the retaining wall? Do we share the cost? Do I pay it in full? Does he pay in full? Which of the two builders are true? What is developers role in all this?
Please advise.
