Hi
I live in Sydney in a property that was subdivided and rebuilt new 9 years ago. The neighbours 100 year old house was sold about a year ago and the new owner is redeveloping the property. They have discovered a clay type water pipe [not sewerage] that seems to run under the fence from my property into theirs. its broken at their end [presume during their excavation] and a lot of water seems to come out when it rains [so assume its some type of drainage].
They want me to get a plumber to investigate. Is it my responsibility / cost to resolve this under property law? There is no issue on my side of the fence.
