Tell him as much as you can,don't be a dick over it. If he still doesn't believe you then tell him to go to a surveyor. You better be in the right here or he's going to take you to the cleaners.

They may not be pegs but those small metal round things.

or they may be offset by 1m or 0.5m if there was something like big hedge there once

Make sure the road frontage ones have a R carved in them and if the R is not facing the road they have been tampered with. If your on a corner section there maybe 2 R's one for each road frontage. Each peg may also have the lot number carved on them.Mostly pegs will be made of hardwood such as totara which will last over 100 years if in the right soil conditions. Have seen aluminum pegs in the city lately.

The council will also have them marked on their land maps

When land movement (around our place) caused boundary pegs on a joining properties, to be of no use, a surveyor, employed by the local council, did not use the boundary pegs for sections (to take measurements from) that had not been affected, but from steel pegs buried in the ground. These were located by a machine built for the location of these pegs and they are where disputed boundaries are surveyed from, hence more costs. mber2. If you believe everything as fact that is on council maps then unfortunately you are in for a few surprises.Good Luck.
