We purchased our home in January and it is obvious since the red flags are still up from the survey that the neighbors driveway is about a foot on our property. It is owned by a real estate agent who IMHO should have known better. She had purchased the lot and built on it about 6 months ago. (she purchased it from the prior owner of my home and the land was divided) (the house is vacant and for sale)
Where do we go from here? Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
Thank you all so much for your replies. A little more info. Our driveways are right next to each other. The day we were moving in, we had one vehicle partly on their driveway but not blocking access. ( shouldnt have parked it there but we figured it was not a big deal since the house was empty and this was only while we moved our things in. While we were moving in, someone left a nasty note to move the vehicle or it would be towed! They didnt even knock on our door. That irked me. I saw the agent there last week and asked her about it and she said she didnt know who would have left that note and that she would do what was right if in fact the driveway was on our property. We left it on good terms and I have pulled my deed. As far as a foot mattering, well we were going to install a basketball goal for the kids and this would make a difference. I was just concerned with what my rights are. In the end I will probably let it go for karmas sake,
LOL frak I was thinking along the lines of those hideous pink flamingos? Perhaps an old toilet with flowers planted in it? Numerous things came to mind.
