Thank you for using Just Answer!

You need to have a surveyor come to the property and correctly locate the boundary of the two properties. This will determine who is correct and then you will be able to proceed accordingly. I would recommend to proceeding any further with the job until the property boundaries have been staked out and confirmed.

Sorry about the typo. I just wanted to clarify that you should not proceed any further with the job until a surveyor has identified the property line.
