Current property lines and survey doesn't match

I would like to know if anyone has had this problem.

I'm going to the be owner of a new property TOMORROW, got the survey on Friday from title company and just come to find that my property line doesn't match the survey on record.

Technically I have the end of the driveway as my property line in the survey but in fact I have the drive-way and about an extra five feet (5x132) and then a chain link fence (which is what I thought was the property line)

What do I do in this case? I can see google street views dating 2009 the fence was existing. According to adverse possession in an extra 14yrs that section becomes mine.
