The query is not very clear. Why do you want to purchase his wall (3 sq. yd)?

If you purchase that, will he still not demolish the wall for redevelopment of his house? Is redevelopment possible without demolishing wall? If not, then your purchasing 3 sq yard would be of no use.

Best course is measure your property. If you find that half width of boundary wall (with land underneath) actually is in his ownership, then you purchase his 3 sq. yrd land by registered sale deed by clearly detailing in sale deed that it is common wall. At the same time, get a written confirmation from him (preferably in sale deed) that he will raise boundary wall in his own land and will not claim any right in existing boundary wall (and land underneath) which you are purchasing.
