I have new neighbours and they’re pushing the boundaries of our property a little. Me and the old owners got along great... neither of us really cared about where the exact lines were cuz we’re both chill about stuff. Unfortunately for the new folks, there’s been a gentlemen’s agreement to allow a garden to encroach in an area we don’t use (from past owners) and the area they’re pushing actually has part of their structure on our property... so when Squid builds his wall, they’re not going to like where it goes... But, I’m sure we can resolve it over a beer or three...
Stay tuned...
Hopefully. I had a new neighbour who was sure we had some of his property. I told him I didn't think so but he hired a surveyor and it turned out half of his garden shed was on mine. I told him not to worry but he moved it anyway. It was never a source of friction between us and in retrospect, he did the right thing. In fairness to your new neighbour, it might just be a case of him not actually getting something he thought he paid for.
