Well I just finished building a new infill, and I was in the same situation, except on the other side of the fence. It turns out that the neighbour had his fence 18" onto out property.
A RPR might not really be too too helpfull, but this is:
When the surveyors come out (which they did before he started excavating), they put in these big one foot sledges/nails into the ground to mark where the property line is. There should be one at the front of the property, one at the back, although sometimes they might be in 5-7 meters from the street, as your house has to be 5meters (i think) set back. These nails usually have a little piece of flourescent tape on them, so you can find them. It is also illegal by law to remove these, so they definately are there. Find the front one, find the back one and run a string line between and Voila! here's your property line.
