In a bid to get Berger to fix and maintain the crumbling wall, Walls went to the authorities and Berger was fined £1,000 ($1.7k) last November for improper upkeep. She later offered to buy the wall for its tax-assessed value of £449 ($600). Affronted by the fines and what he saw as an insultingly low offer, Berger then plumped to sell the wall for the massively overinflated figure of £37,400 ($50k), which he admits to having picked off the top of his head.

Astonishingly, several people expressed an interest in buying it at the time, despite the ambitious price tag. In February 2024, the price was slashed to £34,400 ($46k), however, the wall has since been taken off the market. It's not clear if it has passed to a new owner or simply couldn't find a buyer.
