What should I do if someone encroaches on my land?

Property & Land Law

A landowner should document the alleged encroachment, verify the official cadastral boundary and avoid relying only on fences, walls or informal local understandings.

Useful evidence

  • ownership certificate;
  • cadastral map;
  • field book;
  • survey measurements;
  • photographs;
  • construction records;
  • witness evidence;
  • previous boundary agreements.

Depending on the issue, administrative survey steps, local dispute processes or court proceedings may be necessary.
