All Liens Removed from Props that go through Sherrif Sale in PA?

[Matthew Smuts]

Hi All!

I'm looking at purchasing a property at the Allegheny County Sheriff sale in Pittsburgh and wanted to make sure that all liens are guaranteed to be cleared if I purchase a property at the sale? I have heard multiple conflicting things from different folks. Some folks have told me that just private liens are cleared and others have said that public liens are the first to be cleared. I have done extensive due diligence on the property and even had a chance to look inside with the owner. I'm ready to buy but just want to make sure I don't face any gotchas after the purchase. Any insight on liens or anything else I may be missing are more than welcome. Thanks!

Matt
