Pesky Neighbors: What is the legal boundary of my property?

Few things can create immediate hatred between neighbors, not property disputes. The term "land war" is said to be used to describe civil strife related to property ownership in Ireland in the late 19th century.

Then there is the story of the man who built the house in the middle of the property line. Almost everyone thinks that the home website is completely within the boundaries of the property owner. The records and records of the town office indicate that the construction site is located within the property line. According to available information, the house encountered legal setbacks. The town issued the necessary permits, the bank approved the loan, and began important construction. However, one of the neighbors has something to say about this location because his records show different adjacent attribute lines. All parties to the dispute have hired investigators. The surveyor's report barely cleared the location of the disputed boundary. Grumpy. Sometimes the dispute continues to take legal action.

In most cases, errors are not as expensive as building a home in the middle of a legal border. In most cases, it is a new fence, tool shed or garden function that makes discussion the most important. How do you protect yourself when the landowner conflicts with the contractual description of the adjacent property in the document that determines the boundary of the property?

  Owners should not rely on property line descriptions found in the town office, including copies of recorded contracts. In order to protect themselves, owners must first search their property and the history of records in adjacent locations. This may be a clinical error that escaped the notice in a historical contract that incorporates future actions. Although boring, these errors will be discovered by comparing the historical records maintained with the local government record agency with the current property contract.

  In addition to checking for any employee errors in the conduct, obtaining a current real estate survey is a sensible precaution. Land surveyors and engineers will be able to find legal property boundaries and location markers. A survey may differ from another survey. Depending on the record underlying the investigation, the movability of certain boundary markers, and even the long-term use of controversial property, there may still be problems with the stent.

  The most important step is to talk to neighbors in the neighbouring property before investing in a building or property improvement. If the neighbors resolve before the temper, they can resolve the property dispute without starting the land war.
