My neighbor over the back fence has advised that they are renovating/extending their house. They have had their block surveyed and apparently about 1m of my backyard is technically theirs and they'd like to take part of it back.
Am not looking for specific advice for my situation, but am not sure who I need to talk to in order to verify the claim.
Is a surveyors report completely neutral, or will it favour whoever is paying for it?
Do I need to be getting my own surveyor in to confirm? Or should I be speaking to someone else?
Grateful for any advice here...
