I am constructing a house. On one side of the plot (west side) there is a house with common wall on the east side is an empty plot. I need to build a common wall but the owner of the empty plot is delaying in coming to the site to agree on the demarcation line. I have thought about building the wall in my site if the delay continues. The question is how do i know where to draw the line of where my plot ends on the east side? What is the reference point legally? Can i seek help from municipal authority? Are they responsible to help me with the marking of boundary line? My effort is to be correct legally in my action and prevent the matter from going to court. Thanks Thanks

Dear client
The reference point for calculation of boundary would be the centre point of the common wall on west side.
You can measure the length if plot from west wall according to your papers and subtract the half width of wall(west) and it will be your boundary. And you don't feel satisfied then you can file application in municipal corporation for demarcation of your plot to get exact boundary of plot.
Yes you need to take help from municipal authorities
Send a notice to him to cooperate within specified time failing which you will take help of the authorities
Yes, you will have to take help from municipality. Do not do the demarcation on your own
You have a property title documents with you?
In the property title document you can find your boundaries on all the four sides of your property.
Your engineer or a surveyor can also demarcate your property properly before starting the construction, hence you need not be worried about i, you can ask either of them to fix the boundaries on all the four sides of your property.
