That’s a tricky situation! If you’ve built a house on the wrong land, due to a mistake in the property purchase, several scenarios could unfold:

1. Legal disputes: The rightful owner of the land may take legal action against you, claiming trespassing and seeking damages.
2. Demolition: In some cases, the court may order the demolition of the house, as it was built on land without proper ownership.
3. Negotiation: You may try to negotiate with the rightful owner to purchase the land or reach a settlement.
4. Relocation: If possible, you might need to relocate the house to the correct property or a new location.
5. Financial losses: You may face significant financial losses, including the cost of the land, construction, and legal fees.
6. Legal responsibility: You may be held legally responsible for the mistake, and your contractor or surveyor might share some responsibility.

It’s essential to seek professional legal advice to navigate this complex situation and explore available options.
