roofline boundaries

On terraced houses which are stepped in height (i.e. the roofline comes down by about 1m from one property to the next) A house I am interested in has rendering to the wall face on the bit (of the party wall) that steps down. The rendering is severly cracked and has been bodged with some sort of mastic filler.
This will need to be re-rendered.
Generally speaking who owns/is responsible for that part of the wall? Is it
a) The house with the higher roof
b) The house with the lower roof
Thanks

OH who deals with party wall/boundary issues regularly says this sounds like a party wall and such any repairs would possibly fall under the requirements of the Party Wall etc Act 1996 requiring service of notice and possible of splitting of costs between the two parties. If you are buying this house would suggest you get the advice of a surveyor.0
