What is the name of your state? Ohio
We're interested in buying a house on several acres. The owner has informed us that, when he had the property surveyed, it turned out 0.094 acres are encroaching on the owners land. To correct the encroachment, he'd have to take down the attached garage. He's attempted to contact the owner of the neighboring property, but she now lives out of state and isn't responding. If we offer to buy the property as is, what risks are we taking on?
