    It looks like you have a complex situation and advice from a lawyer may be necessary.

    You talk about a drain between the properties. If this is a drain taking water from your property and under theirs, then you have effectively trespassed. This situation is not uncommon in older properties but modern practice is to have a drainage easement through someone else’s property. In this case it’s your problem and it’s up to you to find and pay for a solution.

    There could be another situation which we are unaware of.
    Irrespective of what the neighbour has done on their land,it’s your responsibility to manage water flows on your property. In this case, again it’s up to you to find and fund a solution.
