Depends on the issues and whether you’re attached to them or not. If your neighbour is a mile away it’s clearly less of an issue than your next door neighbour in a row of terraces.You really do need to give a bit more information if you want any sort of sensible answer.Has your own survey flagged ant issues?All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
