encroachment

Something that is physically projecting over the property line from another property. (For example, an eaves trough, part of a garage, or a fence which has been built beyond the neighbor's property line.) When buying a property, a survey will show you whether there are any encroachments on the property. If there are, you can attempt to have them removed, or you can seek compensation from the seller.

Have a question? Don't hesitate to ask me, I'll be happy to help.
