I live in a fairly typical 30s semi. My neighbour recently had his house re-guttered and they added a new downpipe at the join of mine and his property.
Initially it drained straight into the ground at the foot of the building (there's a flower bed there). I told my neighbour that this wasn't correct, so he said he'd raise it with his contractor. Their solution was to extend 10' of pipe from the outlet away from the house so it now drains into the ground under a bush that forms the boundary between the properties.
This is the second of 2 downpipes he has draining his roof (to give an idea of the volume of water). Is this a real threat to my (our) property's foudations and hence something that's worth pursuing further? Would a survey of my property (when I come to sell) pick up on this as an issue with my property?
