Months ago we bought land next to each other from 2 different families. We filled out the paperwork at the LO to re-organise the chanotes. We subsequently had to wait several months for their land surveyor to come out and check the boundaries.

 

Back then at the same time we paid the PWA water authority to install 2 water meters. I specifically arranged for both parties to come on the same day because I knew that the PWA team would have a digger machine. We had to use them 2 times to enable access to find the round concrete boundary. 

 

All the neighbours were around as well. The surveyors found that one neighbours fences was on our land.  Documents had to be signed to say they agree to move it back etc. It was all very friendly and they right away started to move it etc. 

 

The village head turned up as well. The district office rep didnt come and I think the surveyor had to go to his office to sign the official document. The broker who sold us the land as the mediator helped us a lot and called up one neighbour who was not around. He also booked the village head. 

 

In 30 days time we receive the new chanotes. If the neighbours refused to sign the agreement then it would take a lot longer as theres a process for disputes. 

 

Anyways, I hope this helps anyone else who might want to do the same one day in the future.
