a party wall where my niegbour added fencing onto it, has blown

a party wall where my niegbour added fencing onto it, has blown down due to the strong wind, while I was in work
he cleared his fencing away & put all the bricks into my drive
I can't afford to pay towards the costs to put this right
He weakened the party wall by putting fencing on top of the wall
this wall might have not fallen down if he did not put fencing on top of the wal
Could you tell me what my rights are?

Hello,

If by materially altering the wall he has changed it in a manner that foreseeable would cause damage, then he is responsible for replacing the wall.

At question is the strength, age of the existing wall, and the manner of care which he exercised to put up the fencing.

If talking to the neighbour wont resolve it, then you can go to the court house and file a claim for the replacement (if it is going to cost less then five thousand pounds)

You sont need any legal experience, as the case will be heard in arbitration.

Here is their contact information.
