not sure if he has any approval from local council. I can complain to them for nuisance right? termite problem i heard that the showhouse owner which happens to be 2 doors away had that while others doesn't have that. As for housing area built on soft soil this area used to be estate land and there are several units being demolished as the area is sinking.

cant remember if it's the rubber tree or palm oil....bout the soil issue actually it's because of the developer. The contractor which i know personally told that the land was not allowed to be properly done and they were rushed through the project. This thing happens alot in mainland part of penang doh.gif

Give us more details:

What is your neighbour piling? Is it they are building a new house? Demolish old house, building new one? Or just building an extension?

The piling would be ok if it has been approved by the authorities. That you would have to call to check.

If you're worried about your house cracking, take some pictures now and if cracks appear take pictures again and immediately notify neighbour.

very big extension it seems.
