Next door neighbour stole the garden!

Don't do it....unless you yearn to live in a disharmonious, stressful neighbourhood for the foreseeable future.
I have a friend who bought a gorgeous house with boundary issues similar to those mentioned to you and it still is - 4 years after the purchase - a constant source of strife.
To add to the stress - of late, what started as an issue of malcontent over the boundary/garden between the 2 neighbours has now encroached as a serious bone of contention between my friend and her partner.
Why? Because one party - her partner - would be happy to just finally let it go and let the neighbour redefine the boundary if that will bury the hatchet...and she doesn't.
Trust me - it's noth worth it. NO house is worth that.0 -

Marvellous point & prudent advice.
In that very specific case - all aforementioned caution to proceed should be cancelled forthwith and I'd say "go for it" with all guns blazing.0 -
You may be happy to overlook this if indeed he has taken part of your garden, but when you come to sell will a prospective purchaser be so easy going.0
