Thanks Jim, I told the seller he had a lien and he naturally asked with whom? I offered to split the cost of the report with him as a litmus test. He did want to split the cost so right or wrong, I believe he did not know as the lien is from 20 years ago and has been registered a number of times since. I will let him deal with it and asked him to drop me a note when he has a clean report. I will keep looking.
