Who is knocking down you or builder?
New foundations or are you gonna use the existing?
Re-use bricks or buy new.
What sort of bricks?
What style of wall?
What thickness of wall?
How are you topping the wall off?
What is access like to the wall?
Who is disposing of the spoil?
Questions, questions....sigh.
As said, get some local recommended bod to look at it.
All the job is to be done by the builder.
Foundations, will use existing
Wall should be 9" thick,as it is now
Bricks the cheapest face bricks or common bricks.
Top of the wall with bricks upright
Access to rear garden throught a gate since it is end of terrace house

£4,500 ish..
Could it be buttressed to stop it leaning any further?
(Don't know if that's possible - I'm not a bricky)

You may need to have the foundations re-done or strengthened if they are the cause of the wall leaning over. Do you know how wide and deep the current wall foundations are?
Is the wall buckled/curved over or is the complete wall still straight but leaning over?

Your garden wall can be fixed depending on how you plan to rebuild it. First thing, you should look for home and garden improvement provider and ask for quotes (at least 3). Then after, think about new ways to innovate your garden design and most especially, put stuff that is beneficial for your garden's health.
Yes this is a good idea since I also have some other garden issues to tackle. There is a tall cypress pine tree to remove, replace the garden shed, improve the pavement and possibly build a new conservatory. I thought to split the project and gradually hire a different workman for each job. Maybe it is a good idea to get quotes from companies that can undertake the entire project. My only concern is that it will be more expensive this way.
It is a Victorian house garden that was completely refurbished in the early 80s. I bought the place two years ago so I have no idea how the wall foundations are build, if the wall is build in the 80s or if it is older.
The wall is buckled/curved over mostly in the middle of its length. An amateur explanation is that the neighbours at the other side have re-pointed the wall and kept it in good condition while my side was never re-pointed so it bents towards my side.
that would be ideal, in combination with rebuilding only the middle part which is mostly affected and also with some re-pointing. Haw can you check this?
Check what exactly? Where to put the buttresses?
