Sloping garden in new build, should there be a retaining wall?

Our new build house is nearing completion and we have now seen the garden. We knew there would be a bit of a slope but are concerned about the huge drop off at the back of the garage and also the lack of retaining wall beneath the fence. I worry that a downpour of rain would lead to us losing garden to next door. Should there be a wall beneath the fence? You can clearly see daylight through the bottom. For reference we are higher than our neighbours to the side and rear.
The bottom left of the garden gets the evening sun so we'd like to put a patio there but concerned about there not being a retaining wall on this side either.
Thanks for any advice!
