My husband and I just purchased a home in Henry County Georgia with Crown Us. We wanted a large lot so the agent took us to Lot 123. The lot was huge in depth and width. Since the sod was already laid on the house behind us it gave a great idea of how large the lot was. The agent gave us the impression that all of the lot was ours and she made no mention that the black tarp was 5 ft in the wrong place. So we purchased the lot and paid $3000 extra and the building began. Fast forward 2 months and my neighbor behind us wants to put in a fence and low and behold we find out that about 5 ft of our backyard is not our back yard it belongs to the neighbor behind us and her next door neighbor. For two months we have been cutting the grass and have had Scott's lawn service treat the grass. If we would have known the lot was wide and not deep we would have purchased a different lot.
I believe the agent and Crown misrepresented the property lines but not sure if I have a leg to stand on because I did not have a survey of the property done. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
