Iv'e already suggested that they need to dig out & rebuild it, they wont touch it.

The wall is about 1.3m high, its dry stone & very old I doubt any foundations to speak of. Its sound apart from where the bushes & small tree are growing.

A witness to the inspection? I was going to record it.

Thank you.

Thank you for the replies, I invited them round to see how their bushes roots are pushing their wall down, they stated that they expect me to repair their wall, only because Im doing work on my land. I've dug down about 4 feet, this is about 10 feet away from their retaining wall. There is no ground movement between, I have nothing illegal going on,I just don't want pics taken of my land & property. They have been saying the most dreadful things about my family, god only know why. It's to a point that its impossible to forgive & its clear what dreadful people they are. They have never engaged with me to sought out any issues, just by their solicitors writing to me, so far I'm responding as its all rather pathetic & easy to bat off, in whats being said.

Ive had solicitors letters threatening to get a court order to allow them onto my land to inspect their wall & fence. Bushes planted a long time ago, in their garden as close as possible to their retaining wall has caused their wall to bulge, they are trying to blame me for it. Where I've dug out its at least 10 feet away. I have pics of their wall before I did anything, its exactly the same now as before. It's quite clear cut, but I'm very wary of the situation. Thanks

I have agreed to allow structural engineer on to my land to inspect next doors retaining wall. Should I allow him to take pics of my land?, I feel fine about him taking pics of the retaining wall but feel uncomfortable about pics of my land. I have done some digging out , but no where near their retaining wall. The people next door are very dis agreeable & things could not get any worse between us. thanks
