Does a shared driveway, an encroaching fence, or a survey that does not match the lot change what my home is worth?

A shared driveway, an encroaching fence or a survey that does not match the recorded lot lines can reduce value and slow a sale, since a title company and buyer's attorney will flag the discrepancy before closing. Resolving it through a boundary line agreement or a new survey before listing usually protects the price better than letting a buyer discover it during due diligence. An agent familiar with these issues can point you toward the right attorney to sort out the paperwork.
