A residential area in Ho Chi Minh City, where a house was mistakenly built on the wrong plot of land.

On October 17, as reported by Tien Phong Newspaper, the house mistakenly built on someone else’s land in Chanh Hiep Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, is being relocated by a professional relocation service (known as “than den”).

The relocation process in progress, as the house is carefully moved to its correct position.

Mr. Th., the current occupant of the mistakenly built house, stated that during a mediation session chaired by the Chanh Hiep Ward People’s Committee, both parties agreed to a 45-day relocation period.

According to Mr. Th., the relocation service charged over 200 million VND for moving the house. The original construction cost of the house was approximately 800 million VND.

As previously reported by Tien Phong, Ms. V.T.T. and her husband purchased a 71.4m² plot of land (lot 813, map sheet 82) in an alley off DX.066 Street, Chanh Hiep Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, in 2024.

On June 14, Ms. T.’s family visited the site to measure the land for construction and discovered that a house had already been built on it.

Upon discovering the issue, Ms. T.’s family contacted the party responsible for the mistaken construction.

After multiple discussions, Ms. T. proposed selling the land to the mistaken builders, but these negotiations were unsuccessful.

On September 18, Ms. T.’s family filed a land dispute mediation request with the Chanh Hiep Ward People’s Committee. On September 24, the committee successfully mediated the dispute, and the mistaken builders hired a relocation service to move the house.

Mr. Th. emphasized that the mistaken construction was an error and not an intentional attempt to seize the land. The confusion arose due to the proximity of the two adjacent plots and the lack of professional land surveying during construction.
