My question involves real estate located in the State of: TN. I have a new construction home bought about 2 years ago. 18 months after my fence was constructed by a professional fence builder, my neighbor is convienced that the angle (we both have odd shaped lots) has placed the corner 4 ft into his yard. He was already in the house when it was built and expressed no problem at the time. I apologized and explained the fence builder used the plat map and a builder placed stake ( which i realize is not a true marker) as a guide and assured him that if his theory is correct, we will move the fence. Unfortunatly, he has determined that the very faded spray painted lot number (so faint I never noticed it before) on the curb is the legal marker. Our plat maps do not have front demensions, only side and back to add to the confusion. He refuses to have the property surveyed unless I split the cost. Am I in the right to hold out for a survey, or does his spray painted lot number theory hold up? Also to note, if the lot number is valid, then my neighbor on the other side has his driveway on my property, which leads to my doubt the numbers are accurate.![]()
