If their ground level is six bricks above yours it probably won't make any difference.
A gravel soak-away on the other side will help. Are you pally with them? Explain the problem, you will may well have to pay for the drainage but it's their land you'd need the work done on.
Mr_Sworld-
I need to properly investigate at some point it's hard to explain verbally and visually needs 3D (or at least my 2d drawing isn't good enough when I try).
The outhouse is on our side of the "fence" but the section along the back of the outhouse doesn't have a fence. - possibly because they removed it, probably because the panels rotted away and getting replacements in is a nightmare due the outhouse roof overhang.
It looks like there is concrete running along the bottom against the wall, but idk if there is also their garden soil. Annoyingly though even on our side it looks like the ground is higher in places than the DCM.
We get on well enough, but obviously now is not the time to ask to go rooting through someone's garden. I'd also like to have a clear POA before I ask as we also want to "mention" to them about putting up trellis to go >6' on our side.
Ideally I'd like some sort of paint on quazi damp proofing + drainage.

Good shout on the topstiles.
It's gone into the alley.
At least it's given me the space to turn my messy outhouse into an absolute shit hole. But it's one of those 1 step fwd 2 steps back kinda jobs.
The aim is to make enough space to start work on my work bench.
Will post some photos later.
In the meantime, the damp on this wall is from the neighbours garden being higher and above the DCM. Is it worth taking the paint off to let the bricks "breathe", or will it make no difference?
(pic is halfway through bleaching - was black with mold before)
Cheers.
