I'm in the final stage and have a similar issue. We have had the land resurveyed and the the neighbors gutter is indeed over on our side (zero boundary).

Thanks Re: neighbour gutter on my property 14Apr 28, 2013 12:24 pm Hi, I am no builder however I am having two boundary walls in my new house build. I was told specifically by my builder that boundary walls are more expensive as the gutter has to be internalised at the boundary to contain water. Looks like a big box that ends dead in line with the brickwork that should butt up against the boundary. If it is hanging over your side then your neighbour would have to retrofit the correct guttering. By the look of the pic there is not the option to take care of it on your side as the gutter seems to encroaching your brickwork. I would recommend your building company provide you with a letter to take to the council and to your neighbour. It would probably require a new site survey to confirm that your building is where it should be and the boundary line has been correctly marked. Councils will ask for the site surveys and there will be the one you are building off and the one your neighbour built off, both will claim to be correct, hence a third, independent survey to confirm will be needed. Then take it from there. Very surprised that it was not mentioned that the guttering was not the correct guttering for a boundary wall. Good luck.
