Im getting my home renovated. Almost done. A deck is being installed in the back garden patio space. The neighbor has an extension, and the wall of this is rite on the border line, so i see the wall, by neighbor does not. The deck has been installed and screwed/attached onto this wall (my wife just sent me pictures as its being installed)

This seems wrong to me? I would be p'd off in my neighbor used my wall to attach something too. Ive not informed him as i didn't expect this, although he knows im getting work done, just not the deck. I was expecting support posts for the deck next to wall, a few mm's away, but not attached onto it. Not sure on the legalities of all this. Il be speaking with my builder when im home from work

Whats your thoughts ?

i would warn the people doing the decking that you expect a free standing structure.
I'd contact the neighbour with an apology and reassurance that you're taking steps, and maybe they will say it's fine.
but don't hope that they won't notice. By drawing their attention to it, they are more likely to say that it's fine v they discover it themselves and get stroppy
 
How close to the dpm is the top of the decking? I too would have thought this would be better being a free standing structure..
 
First thought is that your builder is a bit thick. Second thought is that he's lazy.

You could be in a **** load of trouble long after the builder has rode off into the sunset.
