Just dug down a good few feet and it doesn't look like the downpipe runs parallel along my house in the terrace :( I asked the neighbour if I could connect a drain to hers and she said no because she doesn't want excess water to deal with on her side. Back to the drawing board.
It is nearest to the shared fence so only 50cm or so from my side of the fence. That would be amazing if there was something like that I could tap into. I would have to take up the paving slab and dig down to see. presumably I wouldn't have to dig down very far to see pipework if it's a surface...
I did think about this, but if I did the flow of water from my garden into theirs would be my liability as it would be a change I've made that is impacting them. Not only this but I only have maybe 3 inches I could raise it by which would have it be level with the bottom of my patio door.
The neighbour to the right of me has paved her entire garden in stones levelling it higher than mine, I can't prove she did that to offset the issue but when I asked she wasn't very cooperative and said her garden is fine so it isn't her problem. The house to the left of me is slightly higher up...
Neither neighbour is affected as they are both end of terrace. On my left side the neighbour has a storm water drain and on the right side the neighbour has a downpipe that surface water drains into.
