• 2020 Ohio 6666

Syllabus

The trial court erred by granting a motion to vacate the sale of property sold at a sheriff's sale where appellee, the purchaser of the property at the sheriff's sale, had only conducted a visual inspection of the property prior to the sale and had not consulted the other publicly available resources showing the garage situated on the property straddles the property line between that property and the adjacent property next door. The doctrine of caveat emptor applies to sales of property at a sheriff's sale and a purchaser at such a sale is not entitled any relief absent a showing of fraud or express warranty, neither of which were established in this case.
