Subdividing Land/ buying a portion of a land

[Esther L.]

Hi BP,

I am looking to buy a portion of my neighbor's land, combine it with mine and then build on it, but am not sure where and how to go about it. My land is currently not buildable because of its size, but my neighbor owns a 3800 sq f lot (which in my opinion is not been utilized). First, I want to find out the possibility of doing what I have in mind before making any commitment. The surveyors and lawyers are asking for $$$$$ without a guarantee that I can accomplish my goal.

Please I will like to hear from anyone that has done this or have information on the process.

Thanks.
