Hit by the ‘heavens’ and return the land, my family’s economy and spirit were knocked down.

2016 was a miserable year for my family, when I personally hired someone to demolish the newly built house worth $28,000 USD that my husband and I had saved to build forever.

When I built the house, the contractor only based on the stone piles to plug in the lot, there was no coordinate locator, the “gardener” built it, so there was no consultation, no supervision… So after painting the walls, my house encroached on the neighbor’s land by 11 cm. After finding out, I tried my best to negotiate compensation, but the neighbors insisted on refusing because “the land in this residential area is square, you encroach on it, and later I will sell this lot to someone”.

The plan to demolish and then repair the house is also not possible because the structure of splinters, momentum, and columns that match each other cannot be repaired. Spirit, money, effort collapsed, and the neighbor’s affection was broken, knocking my wife and I down.

After reading the information about the mistaken house being built on someone else’s land, and remembering the story of knocking down the house to return my land, I feel that we must understand this:

 

 

Money, the whole house, who doesn’t regret it, but if I build a house encroaching on the land, building it “by mistake” on other people’s land, love and reason are not in my place. If an agreement cannot be reached, it must be smashed and returned to people.

It is necessary to understand that the core issue lies in the principle of compensation for damages in civil law, when another person’s property is infringed, the first obligation is to restore it to its original state.

That is, if you build the wrong land on my land, you must dismantle it to return the land as it was originally. If you encroach on my land, even if it’s just 1 cm, you have to demolish what you have built and encroach on my land.

The behavior of “building the wrong way, considering it as buying” is only solved when both of them have good intentions and want to make peace. But in the right way, it puts the victim in a position to accept loss in exchange for peace.

After all, building a house on someone else’s land, whether accidentally or intentionally, is an act of infringing on property rights.

What is your view?

Now, did anyone ask me if I regret the money? I would like to answer yes. If it hadn’t been for that “blow”, maybe my family’s life would have been different. But, assuming the other party accepts, if they sell the land and sell the house, or I mortgage or sell the house elsewhere, the accumulated troubles are “discharged” even more because the papers do not match, the completion … headaches are even more.
