My neighbour bought a property from me but paid only 20% of the agreed price years ago. They haven't paid the rest. What legal steps can I take to recover the remaining amount? Can I keep the 20% they already gave me? What else can I do if this turns into a dispute?

You can file a civil suit in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the remaining amount. You are entitled to keep the 20% already paid, but it will be adjusted against the final amount. If the dispute arises, you can explore alternative dispute resolution mechanisms like mediation or arbitration before going to court.
