Neighbor's garage encroaching on property
I'm thinking of putting an offer on an inner city house, but looking at the real property report it indicates that the neighbors garage eaves encroaches onto this property by about 18cm. It's a 25 foot wide lot and I was planning on putting in a double car garage if I were to buy it, but now I'm wondering how this encroachment would affect me building this garage.
Has anyone ever dealt with something like this and know if there is anything that would restrict me from building right up to the .45m from the property line that the city says is required if this garage overhangs by 18cm? Obviously with such a skinny lot the garage would be taking up most of the back of the lot, but if I am restricted because of this overhang then that would change things I guess.
