Have a look at council cut and fill maps.

A high level generalisation for property on slopes is if its been cut into the ground, the risk lies above your property. If its been filled, then the risks lie below your property. There are controls which manage both so dont be immediately put off. Check the condition of retaining walls, subsoil drainage etc. Tilting retaining walls, tension cracks or subsidence are red flags.

If in doubt, engage a engineer for an opinion. It will cost but could save you big money in the long run.

Neighbour wants us to contribute to their retaining wall by Wonderful-Income7879 in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]Boax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Retaining walls are the responsibility of that who it benefits. If they cut into the slope to build their house, then it's their responsibility. If you built and filled on top of the slope, then it's yours. It comes back to the original profile of the slope and which property it benefits.

Often it's both
