If the blocks are anything like the new estates, having a wall 600-700mm inside my property would be a BIG deal (495m2), even affecting resale depending on what you can do landscaping - wise, so I would be fighting tooth and nail to claw back my land. The neighbours would (should) only get their noses out of joint if they were trying to be deceptive about the wall placement in the first place. Op said 60-70mm. Grab a tape measure, get out to the back yard, and get some context. Ah, misread. 6-7cm is a lot different than 60-70cm!! In that case, I'd push the fencer to fix it, but at the end of the day I'd pick my battles, unless it REALLY screwed up my landscaping plans. We are retained on both sides of our block. The walls are both approximately 10cm on the inside of our fence line. They actually leave a ridiculous gap between the fence and retaining wall, which has proven to be a PITA to deal with. I would have preferred them to be ON the boundary, but definitely not encroaching on my neighbours.
