Garden boundaries

[E31Shrew]

My next door neighbour has decided to build a new kitchen in some brick built outhouses attached to his property. Absolutely no problem with that and all was passed by the planners including listed building consent as both properties are grade 2.
Question is ...I seem to recall that when you look out of your property the fencing / wall, on the right, whether front or back, is yours to maintain. As we are in a mid terrace and the wall that is on our boundary to the right, at the back of the house, is the wall that will form part of his new kitchen, who in effect is responsible for the upkeep? For instance if it needs new mortar after a period of time am I responsible for its maintenance?
Appreciate any advice

He has to do all the maintenance and arrange with you a time to do it.

I guess its his problem as the wall is not now a boundry marker but part of his house

You need to check your property deeds, that will tell you what is yours and thus need to maintain.

Will the Party Wall Act 1996 not apply?
