The first thing to do is look at your contract and see what it says about canceling your contract. Second, provide more information so an attorney can adequately advise about what you can do. I would need to know more about whether you bought just the manufactured home or the lot, in one transaction or separate transactions, and so forth.

I am not sure I understand your question correctly. If the home is infringing on a neighbor property, I do not believe you would be entitled to your money back. You might be entitled to damages, as would the person whose land you are on.

You need to sit down with a real estate attorney and go over your situation in detail. The remedies (how you can be compensated) depend on the breach (how you were wronged).

You will need to contact an attorney who specializes in property issues. You will want to do this immediately as there are time limits that limit how long you have to pursue any rights that you do have.

What does a manufactured home have to do with property lines? Did you buy a manufactured home with a title or a home affixed to land? Assuming you purchased a home affixed to land, you should check the parcel map and compare it to the title insurance policy from close of escrow for starters.

That depends on the facts and the written agreement. You can probably sue for rescission of the contract if the miscalculations are significant.

The question you ask raises other questions relating to the real estate, which may be different if you are renting, buying or owning and if the owner of the property is related to the seller of the manufactured home. Were there separate agreements with the manufactured home seller and the owner of the land? Who miscalculated? The answers to these questions may raise others.
