    If we did remove some bricks and find ourselves seeing someone's living space then I guess this could be seen as aggravating the situation and makes getting our space back even harder?
    Not really, because once a few bricks have been removed, the others follow more easily.

    You'd only have a legal problem over whose bricks they are.

    However, I would try the diplomatic route first. He might turn out to be a cage fighter, or something like that......and one who works nights!

    The brickwork could have been done years ago and the neighbour isn't even aware.

    Absolutely, in which case they're the OP's bricks.

    Just a further thought though; they might be structural!

    Yes, I was assuming when the OP said it "has been bricked off by the neighbour" that they know the work has been done by their current neighbour - OP, is that what you meant? Or do you mean you've just noticed that the wall exists and have no idea when it was done or who did it?
