If the fence is fully on your side as you outlined above then you either talk him directly or see a solicitor.

I have no idea without seeing it and without carrying out a full boundary check. And even if I could answer that question I wouldnt do so here. Please read our forum charter particularly Section 6.3

As I said before you have 2 choices. Talk it over with the neighbour and see if you can come to an amicable agreement or alternatively you will have to discuss it with your solicitor.

Not much help Im afraid but I suspect you already knew your choices were limited.

If its 3 foot higher on his side he really shoud have built a something on the borderline to keep the soil back from your land if the fence breaks he will be liable for the fence and having to clean up the mess.

Had an instace where someone did the same thing and that person built a retaining wall but didnt built it properly (and was told of the fact mid build) needless to say the wall collapsed and it went to court as the neighbour wasnt having any of it. The neighbour obviously lost.
