Neighbour dispute - unsafe shared garden wall

Note, Building Control is the department which deals with all dangerous structures law, but garden walls do not have to comply with the Building Regulations.   Temporary shoring or strengthening of the wall rendering it not immediately dangerous might prevent the imposition of an enforcement notice.

Not has similar problems but I'd, if possible, sort it out myself. As mentioned, you don't know what any of their finances are like. They all accepted the state of the wall over the years and risj, but now you've moved it, you're potentially giving them a bill they never asked for and possibly can't afford.

As it maybe indanger of turning into a neighbor dispute which you'd have to declare when selling, maybe just considering repairing yourself and send a sorry letter round so they don't get moody with you.

What was the estimate? Did you mean concrete blocks when you said breeze blocks, which were made from coke breeze and have not been around for a long time now. Most people not in the trade call any block, be it AAC, concrete, Fibolite a breeze block.
