Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

Re: I just found out that my home is on the neighbor's yard!

If the house itself is actually five feet over the line into your neighbor's property, you may actually have to move it or see whether you can buy the neighbor out of the five feet and whatever else in terms of set back acreage that may be required to make the property compliant under local zoning laws. (You may also have a cause of action against those who sold the home to your if they misrepresented the actual survey situation in response to your inquiries.)
