My question involves real estate located in the State of: Texas
My wife and I purchased the house we live in 17 years ago, it was disclosed to us that the overhang of our carport is on our neighbors property (a little over 1 foot), it was not a problem for us or our lender and we have a good relationship with our neighbors (that property changed ownership since our house was purchased, but we still have no problems with our neighbors). Now we have decided that the house is too big for us since we are empty nesters and want to move to a smaller house, we signed a contract to sell our house to someone who is going to renovate and flip this house pending a new survey to find out exactly how much over the encroachment is, the survey from 17 years ago is hard to distinguish if it is 1.7 feet or 1.7 inches (more likely feet I'm thinking).
The buyer says if it is feet the deal could be off as it will result in lots of work for him to have to cut that much off of the eve of the carport and make it look right, I really don't want the deal to fall through so I am hoping for a resolution of the encroachment so that no work would have to be done to the eve, thus saving our buyer the cost of cutting back the overhang.
Can there be a solution where property line can be adjusted to the eve does not encroach the neighbors property?
