What is the name of your state? Mississippi
The same builder build 2 houses. I purchased one house, another lady purchased the other. Long story short, 2 years later the lady tried to sell her house and the mortgage company required a survey. The survey found that about 1/4 of her 1400 sq. ft. house was on my property. Basically if you draw a line from 1 ft off the front right edge of her house to 10 foot off her back right edge that is where my property line falls. So that part of the house, Mailbox, water meter, bushes, etc are all on my property. We've had 2 surveys done, one for her land, one for mine. The buyer of the house backed out because the original builder wouldn't work with me on the land (You've just got to know this guy, I've talked to everyone from mailmen, city inspectors, friends, police officers, etc and not one of them has responded back with anything but a string of insults about the guy). So all the while this guy has been cheating on his wife and she found out about it and kicked him out of the house. So he basically just purchased the house out from under the lady he originally sold it to so now this prick and his "home wrecker girlfriend" are my neighbors. So according to the survey he needed to buy .11 acres from me to make it right and that land value according to the appraisal is $4125. He made an offer of $3000 which I accepted. At the last moment he backed out and decided "He wouldn't be able to sleep at night if he payed anything for that land" Now that he'd my neighbor its been on thing after another. I wasn't aware you needed a building permit to construct one of those metal sheds in your yard. Apparently he was aware of that so he called the city inspector on me and almost had to tear it down. Once I told the inspector who my neighbor was, his response was "Tell me the exact dimensions of the shed and come down to my office in two days and I'll have a $13.00 permit waiting on you and that jerk can shut his damn mouth"
This guy has multiple lawsuits against him now and he is dumping more money into lawyer fees than it would cost for him to settle 95% of the cases(according to 4-5 lawyers I talked to). I don't have the money to spend on lawyers like he does but I'm not about to just roll over and give him the land. I just can't see throwing thousands of dollars at a lawyer inorder to get $4125 out of him for the land.
Is there not something I can do legally and without loads of cash to spend.
