Dear Oh dear! Fences can be such a problem with neighbours as I well know.

Some suggestions.

In the short term leave the fence as it is. Then errect a nice screen of
a suitable height well inside your boundary. Try to come to some sensible
resoltion. Consult a legal eagle. Rescue your screening, let him take
down his fence then errect a new one so there is no doubt. Consult the
last owner as to actually errected said fence. Move house! Plant some
nice screening shrubs and wait.

People can be so bloody minded when it comes to this sort of issue. Good
Luck.
