If the former owner had a new sink installed and failed to pay the bill before selling the property, the plumber may file a Construction Lien claim. This stands as a claim on the property for which you, as the new owner, may have to pay in order to clear your title. Similarly, there may be suits pending affecting the property or judgments, foreclosures or bankruptcy actions against the former owner, or any number of claims or legal involvements which may definitely cloud the title until they are properly settled or removed.
