No. You simply blew the transaction by (1) not having your own lawyer, (2) not checking the survey, and (3) not checking the legal description. In some cases, you may, with a lawyer and depending what your sales contract and deed say, have a right, and it will be very expensive, to sue the seller, but this was inexpensively avoidable by you doing a purchase with the proper precautions.
