Hi - I had a low (600mm) retaining wall built along the boundary line of my property end of 2019. (I was developing my side the high side)
I applied to shire for a building permit for the wall, so permit issued in my name. I paid/had a contractor build the wall.
I sold the property about a year ago. The wall is now showing signs of stress ie. it has some cracks slight lean. The neighbour (on the low side) complained to the shire and the local shire issued me a letter to repair the wall within 21 days or face a fine.
My question is am I liable to repair the wall as a) I dont now own any of the property related to this. b) I didnt build the wall a contractor did (but yes permit in my name to get approval for it) c) it was built nearly 3 years ago so how long does the warranty last on a wall anyway so to speak ?
Thanks !
