retaining walls

We are owners of a property whereby there is an upper and lower garden.
we own the lower garden.
There is a retaining wall (in mild disrepair ) 'supporting' the upper and 'protecting' our lower garden garden.
Have gone through lease and conveyancing drawing -and it is not clear who is responsible for what bit of wall.
(land registry have nothing on it either )
I believe 'by convention', the wall belongs to the person whose garden is retained within the boundary;and thus responsibility lies with the people owning the upper garden (not us).
Am i correct-and can anyone add anything to this.
many thanks

Was this originally all one property which at some point in past was split? It sounds that this is a form of party wall but as no clear indication of who it belongs to, it may be joint ownership/responsibility.If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0
