*706The appraisal of landlord’s estate supports purchasers’ claim that they had no notice of any claim by tenant of rights to the land, except for the building. The appraisal did not include the value of the building claimed by tenant, and made no adjustment and reduction for the value of fill dirt, drain tiles, and driveways also claimed by tenant. There was evidence that purchasers were aware that tenant “had a lot to do with” putting a building on the property and that he brought in some fill dirt. But tenant acknowledged that the “majority” of the fill dirt came from the ground the building had originally sat on, formerly owned by landowner. The evidence in this case, viewed under this court’s standard of review in the light most favorable to the judgment, does not show the existence of any circumstances that would have reasonably put purchasers on inquiry of the tenant as to any claim to the fill dirt, driveways, and drain tiles located on the land purchasers were buying.
