What is the name of your state? Virginia
I have recently purchased a modular home and land. The business that sold me the house hired all of the contractors to perform all work on the land and house installation. A preliminary walk through on the land was done with the contractor and myself to decide where we thought the house would be best suited. The land was then cleared and the house placed on a permanent foundation without any additional consultation with me. It has recently come to my attention that the home was placed approximately 50' past my property line on someone else's land. The company is now claiming that it was my decision to put it there even though they had all of the land specs and performed all of the construction. They are now assuming that I will need to purchase the land that the home is on provided that the land owner will sell. What can I do to protect myself from a lawsuit from the current owner of the land and protect my investment without having to pay any additional money for a mistake that was made by the company and their representatives?
