we bought a foreclosure that was landscaped. after we moved in, we replaced the landscaping with our own materials following the line they laid out. The landscaper we hired couldn't locate the property pin so she went off the lot plans that were given to us and the existing landscape. A company recently purchased the lot next to us and re-measured the line. Looks like we are over about a foot and 1/2 - some of it is permanent structure like concrete. What are our options?
The first question is who is right you or the new owner? Should we have a survey? Should we have a 3rd opinion? If your landscaping is actually on someone elses property then they may decided to remove it up to the property line or allow it to say, but risk an claim of adverse possession in the future. Or you may enter into an agreement which allows the landscaping to remain but prevents your claim of adverse possession in the future.
Good Luck!
