How unusual to own three boundaries is it?

I'm not entirely sure why you  she (given it is her purchase) would pull out having been made aware of a boundary. I am end of terrace so have 3 boundaries to maintain (which is no issue). Is it mid terrace?

If I understand correctly the OP is saying daughter would have responsibility of the left boundary of the neighbour to the left, this boundary is not her garden.

DRP

Are talking about responsibility for the  boundaries , or the physical stone walls that sit on those boundaries…?

If the latter, what condition are they in, walls tend to last a long time even without maintenance. 

If the former, then *shrug*

That makes more sense. It's as if it was one large plot, divided into two, but the ownership didn't transfer when the plot was split.

That is what occurred to me looking at the drawing.

Either big house split in two, or two house built on one large plot and then a fence put down the middle to separate the gardens.

That is an old plan and providing significant structures between plots when houses were built or divided etc wasn't how it now is with a fence or wall.

The original boundary 'structure' may have been no more than timber stakes and a single piece of wire!

Walls, fences were built and hedges are planted over the years, by either side, but responsibility may never be recorded.

All the OP can do is try and find out who originally built the wall.

My parents live on a corner and have boundaries with 8 other properties!

Also find out if there is any requirement to maintain it as a wall (rather than a wire fence, say) - conservation area/listed/planning/pasture land/deeds of both houses...

I can see part of the deed that states a stone rock faced wall, so it would have to be like for like I think?

Download the neighbours plan from Lanf Registry. I’ve never seen one like that which indicates she has responsibility for the entire land next door sits on. That’s really odd and I’m inclined to agree maybe it wasn’t split when the house was split/built. Check next doors plan out and post it here maybe.

Does this help at all? Daughters house is the one on the right.

That looks like the plan for both houses - so not current if she is only buying one, and fairly reasonable for whoever owns the whole plot to have had responsibility for both walls. Just as my box of deeds for my home includes one from before the area was built which talk about the boundaries right down the end of the street.  Are both walls definitely on the current deeds implying a mess up when they were split?

I assumed these are the current deeds that the solicitor sent 
She had asked for a complete copy so we can read it all to be honest the solicitor is not very helpful at all.
Problem is the house has had a survey done and he had no idea about this extra wall on the plan, we can't exactly do back and say please check this was at of it is in good order at this stage.
