lot line
The owner of the newly constructed
SFD next door to my duplex may
have built a fence 6-10 inches over
the line on my side. This is according
to a surveyor's report from a
potential buyer of my property. I do
not own that survey as I have not
paid for it. So, this is word of mouth
info so far. What should I do about
this? Is there a way to view the
original survey of the property line so
that I have something to compare it
to? Do I contact the owner even if I
don't have a report in my hand? The
potential buyer backed out of the
escrow because of the report. He
didn't want to deal with it.
Thank you for any help offered.
Re: lot line
Contact the owner of the SFD and let him know that his fence is encroaching. Ask him if he had a survey done before he put up the fence. If he says yes, then ask to see it and contact the surveyor. If you are satisfied that it does not encroach, fine. If you think it does, then hire a surveyor. It's not that expensive. You may have to sue, maybe not.
