Tricky gutter repair

I have a tricky repair job I’ve been asked to do.  The builders bodged the roof and the gutter is leaking at the corner.  I thought a new downpipe Is the best solution, but still not guaranteed.

There is a drain in the neighbours garden, though the exit is sealed.  I’m sure it leads into the main waste pipe though.  
 

any ideas? Should I fit the pipe and cut a hole into the drain?

That's a job I usually get. Can you not fit a new downpipe right into the grey connection below? You might need to fit a running outlet on the gutter and two 112.5 degree bends at top which takes you into the new downpipe.

 
Thanks guys.  Someone also mentioned a hopper outlet flush at the top.  I’ve never fitted one of these. Any thoughts ? 
Between gutter at top you would need to fit a running outlet. Then a tiny piece of pipe, 112 degree bend, small piece of pipe, 112 degree bend into downpipe and a socket for two pipes at bottom to fit together.
