Hi folks

Have a rental property, last month did a big job on the garden. Found out some months previous the next door neighbour replaced the party fencing.and put up an over 2M corrugated metal fence, another foot inside my property and affixed it to my bathroom extension, which is not the party wall

What should I do here? Talking to her is not an option

Is the old corrugation fence at the back and what appears to be a concrete pillar part of the party wall,
(1) is the arrow on your side of party wall
Is old concrete pillar part of party wall
Is old corrugated fence which appears to be very badly maintained part of your party wall,
How wide is the concrete pillar approx it forms part of party wall,
Just to be sure I am reading photo correctly is new party wall butted up to your bathroom wall,

The flat roof is your bathroom extension?

So the new wall is attached to it? Not allowed afaik without your permission

Also it does seem to be a foot over into your property. Which I assume starts at the edge of the flat roof.

If you can’t talk to the neighbour I guess you’re having to removed and returned to her garden when she can fix it back up to swim new posts. Assuming she wants to.

What do you propose to do with your garden? Build a new fence or wall to fill in the gap, on your side only of course so you don’t repeat her mistake. She really won’t need to have hers reinstalled then.

the fence is butted up to your bathroom filling a space between your bathroom and whats looks like a concrete block pillar on the party wall/line,
not looking like you own a foot on the other side if the pillar is on the party wall/line to me,

Have you got a bigger problem in the area where there is no fence between both property along bathroom extension wall or is there a fence not showing,

The only other option is to go the legal route. First step will be to obtain a report confirming the correct location of the boundary and then having a solicitor issue a letter demanding they restore the boundary to your satisfaction.

Of course, if talking isn't an option then it's likely there has been issues in the past with this individual and they are likely to ignore said letter. With that you're looking at expensive legal proceedings where the outcome may not be what you want.
