We have built a new home on a block of land when all our neighboring properties were still vacant. At the time of our build, there saw no requirement for a retaining wall on either sides of the property. A few months later, one of our neighbors started their build and suddenly demanded a retaining wall to be built along the boundary of our properties.
This is giving us so much stress at the moment as we cant find any reference to a similar instance. Would appreciate your input on who needs to place the retaining wall as our builder is insisting when we started our build there was no retaining walls required based on the current terrain of the soil.
We don't mind paying 50/50 but our neighbor is implying we should shoulder the entire cost. Height difference would be 0.2-0.5 meters
Thank you.
