As a surveyor, you will find this funny (maybe). The lot behind me just got cleared after being vacant the entire time I've lived here (23 years). The new owner wants to take the grade down and put in a block retainer wall right where my fence is. I put this fence in 13 years ago and it's been ravaged pretty good from Matthew and Irma. He (and the builder) said it was on their property by just a few inches. So I said they could have free reign to rip her down whenever they wanted. They are going to put in some kind of new fence in conjunction with the retaining wall. You probably see stuff like this all the time. So far the new owners seem very nice and I've known the builder for quite a few years so I don't anticipate any issues.
The good news is the new house will only be 2 stories so I will still have the high ground, even though I'm only 1 story. You can't see it in these pics because it's behind the Bamboo.

Yes I do property lines for a living and do not care regarding my own. Mostly because I see the worst in people regarding them.
Your move was noble.
If they are willing to put up a decent fence then let them tear down the old one. I love the bamboo line, reminds me of my Areca Palm Line along my fence line which is not needed now that the Arica's are mature.
