he's a professer of Geology, and reckons there is nothing to be worried about as the soil substructure is very good.I'm a bit concerned to say the least.Any advice would be helpful.Thanks.

Do not cave in to this specious speleologist , he is not so much a potholer as plain potty. From Yorkshire to the Mendips , the west of Ireland to The Peak district there is more than enough pots , sumps,and stalactites and stalagmites to keep himm away from your garden . the man is a ladder short of a pitch !

That's such an awesome question - I'm unsure if you're joking or not but I'll answer anyway.
I wouldn't do it if you have any intention of ever selling the house, as it'll be a definite turn-off to prospective buyers. If you don't intend on selling, tell him it's no problem if he gets a basic contract drawn up saying he'll be willing to pay any damages that result to your property if he's wrong.

In the news in the last couple of weeks a guy was cautioned for doing exactly that (he's been doing it for years) and had to be rehomed (he was 76) as it made his home, neighbour's homes and surrounding areas structurally unstable. Nice idea, but a definite no.

No. Tell him to dig one in the street for that is where most of them are any way. One more pothole in a street full of them, who would know.
Tell him to get a job digging graves that I hope will satisfy his need for digging. Besides digging holes for burial he may find the earth of geological value.

now that you know what he's upto, if you allow it i bet you'd find you are not insured.
Its a nightmare enough to get a covernent on a property to run a serwer or water pipe.
You'd never sell...unless of cause you're thinking of selling a pile of bricks when it falls down.
Its a joke, right ?

Don't do it. Unless you make your neighbour to pay for a survey. You could put the stability of your house in danger.

NO.
Tell him that you will consult the local council as you think it could be against local bylaws/planning permission. If you agree, it could affect your home, your safety and anyone you sell to and your insurance.

doesn't sound very clever, you will probably end up with a big bill & falling out with your neighbour, once your garden caves in, tell him to go play in the park!
