i'm no botanist but is your neighbour's house constructed with wood with wooden foundation? I think normally plants' roots will grow around obstructions. Unless your neighbour's house foundation already has problems then of cos this would be a concern since the tree roots may get into the problem areas and cause further damage. How far is your tree from their main building? You can gauge how far the roots of your tree had spread out by estimating the height of your tree. Dried leaves flying over can't be controlled. Is your neighbour going to complain to NParks if the leaves from trees from outside his house fly into his house during windy days? One cannot control where the leaves are being blown to. I even had leaves from don't know where ended up on my attic balcony at times. My neighbour A has a huge tree at his backyard with leaves often dropping over to my side. I just pick up the leaves and throw into a corner of my garden as compost. There are also branches from the tree coming into the airspace on my side so once in a while my neighbour A will prune the branches. I have also seeked permission from him to prune away branches when they start growing too near to my upper storey bedroom windows. My other side neighbour B sharing a fence with me also has plants coming over to my side and my plants also sometimes grow over to their side. So leaves and flowers dropping is common and we just give and take. This neighbour B also grows bougainvillea on the other side of the house and the fallen leaves and bracts from the bougainvillea will sometimes fly/drop over to the other side neighbour C. What neighbour B told my mum is that neighbour C will sweep up all these dead leaves and then throw it back over the neighbour B side. for your light, is any part of the light beam shining over your neighbour side? If not, then I don't really see a problem and you neighbour is just being a PITA. Of cos you can try to adjust the light so that it shines further from your neighbour side or change the location of the light such that it is at the side of your house, meaning the backside of the light is facing your neighbour side so he cannot complain that the light is too bright. For my house, my garden lights are positioned in this manner such that they are casting the light towards my house and back of the lights are facing the neighbours. Anyway, we are all living in a community in the same area so sometimes have to give and take.

About 6.5 years after I started this thread, exactly 6 years 4 days after I had collected my keys to my first house, I am handing out the same set of keys to its new owner. Hope the new owner will take good care of the house. I will definitely miss this unit, which I had spent hours and hours to research and decided how I wanted the unit to be. Time to say good bye. 😢
