How can I view an old Property Information Form (TA6 form) for someone else’s property?

His TA6  may be right or maybe wrong. If wrong, it may be deliberately wrong,or through lack of knowledge. So it proves nothing.

But equally your own TA6 is the same.

Proving responsibility of the boundary may be possible, with difficulty, for either you or you neighbour. 'T' markings on one or other title plans might help. As might documents from when the properties were built (eg developer's plans).

But even if you prove who has boundary responsibility, that is not the same as proving ownership of the wall, and hence responsibility for the wall.

And even if you prove ownership of the wall, there is still (probably) no obligation to maintain it unless it is actually dangerous.

So if this matter were to 'go legal', it could potentially take years, and huge legal costs, to resolve.

So forget the liability and resolve it between you

* pay a contractor to fix the wall and maintain good neighbour relations, or

* negotiate a compromise and pay 50% each or

* Politely suggest that if the neighbour wants the wall repaired he is welcome to arrange and pay for a repair.

If you take option 3 and the neighbour 'goes legal', do as little as possible, wait as long as possible before responding legally (ie don't rush off to a solicitor) and let him run up his legal costs tying himself in legal knots.
