House Legal Stuff Query

I've received a letter from my solicitors this morning, which says
They've said the walls and fences are jointly owned, so maintenance should be decided between all parties.
There is only one restrictive covenant saying we're not allowed to carry out noisy or dangerous, offensive or objectionable trade or business from the property. Shame - I almost wanted something a bit stranger like the shooting of the birds from another property one!
There is one other query:
The solicitor has suggested this portion of land was transferred to the house to correct a boundary issue, otherwise part of the house would technically be on neighbouring land.
Again, I guess it's just information?
I guess this is just for information?... as you can see, the plan has been tinted, relating to entry ref A1. It would appear this property was previously owned with the neighbouring property, and this clause confirms that any rights, easements are still in place. The property was subdivided in 1993.

... you are not to interfere with the drains under that portion of your property as your neighbours have a right to use those drains.
