Can you get to it to chop it? Do you get on with your Mum's neighbour? If not have you got either a very long ladder or a very good solicitor? It's a neighbour problem not an ivy problem basically. You have the legal right to chop down anything that grows over your (Mum's) property. If it's difficult to do that though try asking nicely. If the neighbour is awkward try asking the council to intervene. I'll copy this reply and post it on the genuine question as well, in case Andrea, our friendly, amateur, legal beagle wants to reply.
