They've been a big help. Looking at the contour map we received before purchase, the sewer runs along the back fenceline. So by keeping within the estate's guidelines of not building within 4 metres of the back fence, I assumed this would be a non-issue. When I questioned the builder about it, they said that for the depth the pipes are at, the building must be double that distance away (thanks to bashworth for educating me prior to contacting the builder) and as we are still close to that figure we need pegging. So we haven't been able to obtain actual numbers from the builder. Is a bit like Chinese whispers in that place so I assume the answer I was given is third-hand. Thanks also for the tip to going straight to the developer. They've been pretty good so far so I think I'll get onto them tomorrow. No-one explained to us about the easement when we purchased the land. I didn't think there would be an issue with it running along the back fence. Perhaps it should've been something I questioned at the time. thanks again everyone.
