I agree 100%. I have a friend who bought a 2 bdrm condo today for well under 200k.

You can get a survey done, but if you
and your neighbour have your real property reports you can do the measurements off both houses. The thing about a property line is it isn't a single line, but a strip that is many inches wide. As long as the fence is fully contained within that line, you are fine.
So make sure you are right, if you are not then the best case scenario is you need to register something with the city to allow for the encroachment.
Worst case, I have heard stories of people complaining about where a fence is, thinking it was to close to them, and they could make the neighbours pay to move it, only to find out it was actually to far on their neighbours property, so the neighbours made them pay to move it to the right spot. In another situation, the 7-11 by my moms place got in a dispute with the neighbour who complained about something , I think it was the location of their sign, a week later they brought out a survey company to settle the dispute and the company saw the fence the homeowner built was over a foot onto 7-11 property, so they moved the fence. I have no idea if they make him pay for it or not though.
