Survey over property line - what are the options?

[Chris Thomas]

BiggerPockets experts,

I am in the process of purchasing a property, and the survey has revealed that the structure extends about 5 feet past the property line. The property encroached upon is owned by the city. The house is 100+ years old and was likely built before the road system was established. The title company is clueless on how to resolve the issue, so I thought I would reach out to a larger audience.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,

Chris
