Does a shared driveway, an encroaching fence, or a survey that does not match the lot change what my home is worth?

A shared driveway, an encroaching fence or a survey that does not match the recorded lot lines can all lower a home's worth, since a buyer's attorney and lender will flag these issues during title review and may require them resolved before closing. Left unaddressed, they can also scare off buyers entirely rather than simply reduce price. Brian Beatty flags these problems early so a seller can fix or disclose them before they surprise a buyer late in the process.
