Thanks nick. Was hoping the fence wouldn’t be needed when the wall was built as it’s so close to the boundary. Our real concern is we want this house to be a forever home and the higher the wall gets the worse the workmanship and I can’t see it lasting the test of time. This will no doubt become our issue after the neighbour has gone and it needs replacing in the future as over half this wall is alongside our house and is not accessible to carry out repairs from either side!

If you’re on talking terms then just pay to have it rendered and lose the fence? There is not a cats chance that the wall is getting re-made or much further improved, let’s be honest….  You’ll use a lot of energy and life force fighting against this, so just look at whether you want top pay for a new fence (eventually, regardless, as that’s a waffle fence and will snuff it) or use that investment to make the wall look as you wish?

Looks like standard Spanish construction. The renderer sorts it.

But Spanish renderers and tilers are superb, and that would end up looking good....but they don't have our weather in areas where they do it like this..

 

RE the original question, that wall will get weeds growing from the open joints so I think it could cause problems all round.
