BaghdadiLaw’s experience in property encroachment in Saudi Arabia
BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to protecting property against encroachment, with a firm understanding of title, possession, the alleged intrusion and the relief sought to address it. A wall, extension or access route crossing a Saudi boundary should be assessed against the legal parcel and a reliable survey. A fence line is not necessarily the registered boundary. The nature of the structure and how it came to be built affect the remedy; removal should not be promised before those facts are checked.
Property rights under the Civil Transactions Law must be read with applicable registration and survey records. Article 653 is a specific situation, not permission to build on neighbouring land. Other encroachments may require a different analysis. Overlay the disputed structure on the parcel description and identify the measurement method. A photograph of proximity alone does not prove the size or legal location of the intrusion.
We agree the work your matter needs: Clarify the survey, negotiate a documented boundary solution or assess removal or compensation within the applicable rules. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A boundary-evidence comparison and remedy assessment identifying whether technical survey clarification is needed.

Before requesting advice on property encroachment in Saudi Arabia
Does every boundary crossing require demolition?+
No universal answer is appropriate. Civil Transactions Law Article 653 addresses a good-faith building encroachment and permits a court, where justified, to require transfer of the occupied strip for fair compensation. Establish the facts before choosing between removal, adjustment and compensation.
Is an old fence enough to prove ownership?+
It may be relevant factual evidence, but must be compared with the title, survey and any recorded right.
What if the neighbour claims permission?+
Obtain the alleged agreement and identify its parties, scope and duration. Permission to access is not necessarily permission to build.
