Sheriff Sale Deeds

[Account Closed]

So I've purchased a property at sheriff sale and they apparently issues you a clean deed and title from the City of Philadelphia, however, do I issue a new regular deed to sell the same property or a special warranty deed to just guarantee the property is free and clear?  Thanks!

Chante, you should talk to a local title company, they can tell you if you actually have clear title (there are often things that get missed by the firms that process the sheriff sales, plus if it was a tax sale you generally can't get title insurance for at least a year), and can also handle the resale of the property.
