Boundary dispute for plot

Hi ,

I have bought a North facing 1200 (30x40) sqft plot of land (with compund wall) from lady who inherited this plot from her father.
Her father carved out this plot from his ancestral agricultural land.
This plot is on the boundary of their survey ABC. West side of this plot is land belonging to another person from another survey XYZ.
There is dispute about the boundary of this plot as its on the border.
West side plot owner claims 5ft of land from our plot (in survey ABC).
But my previous owner(lady) claims there is no issue w.r.t boundary. There is a compund wall for this plot.

If i sell this land to another person , will i face any legal issue because of boundary issue.

If there was a boundary wall and if it enjoys town planning / other approvals such construction over 13 years, you are in a safe position. However, you may convince the seller to keep that amount of disputed land as per measurement in joint deposit account for a period of one year or more, and that can be settled at a later date.
