Breeze Block Wall

Try hiring a damp detector gadget from your local DIY hire shop. Using this, you will be able to determine for sure if you've got damp up your wall. Also, check out the damp course at the foot of the wall. This is usually made of concrete and sometimes has a plastic layer between it and the first bricks or lead. If the damp course is damaged, then damp will get up into the bricks from below. Also check out any guttering above. If water is constantly dripping from a broken gutter, this too can cause damp in the bricks.

Depending on where you live, it sounds like boomer is more or less correct. Your neighbour can not set foot onto your land as this is illegal. Assuming you bought your house after this breeze block/fence was erected then you are legally allowed to paint it or hang trellis from it as long as your intentions aren't malicious. If the fence is the type where one side has the post showing then these post should be on your neighbours side as he built the fence and should have made sure that the 'clean' side was away from his garden. 37 years is a long time, too long for him to claim his 3 inches back. Why did you not discuss this situation with the previous occupant of your house? The only way to find out the exact boundary for your properties is to look at the original plans, but if your neighbour WAS the person who erected the block/fence then he has chosen where he want the boundary to be. The law concerning this sort of matter is so complex and very expensive to go through the courts. Try talking to your neighbour, if that fails then paint the blocks and hang your trellis. If he steps on your property then have him arrested for trespass with intent to cause criminal damage. Good luck.

This may be due to damp, but could be due to materials used or method of application of the plaster etc.
Maybe you're just picking up light reflected differently, allowing you to pick up the joins between blocks, probably due to poor construction.
Either way, it sounds like it will need to be investigated - if there is any damp entry, this would need to be cured. Then allow to dry and replaster fully, is probably then required,
Good luck! Rob

without seeing it I cannot say but it sounds like very thin plastering, you ought not be able to see the outline of the breeze block

Hell yes, and it also sounds like the builder was a cowboy.
