” Id. § 82.02[1][d] [ii]. “Record notice” is sometimes referred to as “constructive notice.” See id. “A subsequent purchaser ... is on constructive notice of all claims revealed by the record, regardless of whether [the subsequent purchaser] ever looks at the record or ever sees the information contained there.” Id.; seeThomas v. Finger, 144 N.H. 500, 503, 743 A.2d 1283 (1999) (“a real estate purchaser will be charged with constructive knowledge of what may be revealed by an examination of the record” (quotation omitted)). “Record notice” is “notice inferred from the record.”
See id. "A subsequent purchaser ... is on constructive notice of all claims revealed by the record, regardless of whether [the subsequent purchaser] ever looks at the record or ever sees the information contained there." Id. ; seeThomas v. Finger, 144 N.H. 500, 503, 743 A.2d 1283 (1999) ("a real estate purchaser will be charged with constructive knowledge of what may be revealed by an examination of the record" (quotation omitted)).

Id. "If the evidence adduced at trial is conflicting, or if several reasonable inferences may be drawn, the motion should be denied." Thomas v. Finger, 144 N.H. 500, 502 (1999) (quotation omitted); LeBlanc v. American Honda Motor Co., 141 N.H. 579, 585 (1997) (applying same standard to motion for judgment notwithstanding verdict in strict liability, defective design claim). Our standard of review on this issue is whether the trial court abused its discretion.
According to Adel's reasoning, because the quitclaim conveyance from the town to him was recorded, a proper title search would have put Alia and her mortgagee on notice of Adel's interest in the vacant lot. See Thomas v. Finger, 144 N.H. 500, 743 A.2d 1283, 1285 (1999) (“A bona fide purchaser for value is one who acquires title to property for value, in good faith, and without notice of competing claims or interests in the property.”) (emphasis added) (internal quotation marks omitted); see also C F Invs., Inc. v. Option One Mortg. Corp., 163 N.H. 313, 42 A.3d 847, 849–50 (2012) (explaining that bona fide purchasers must lack “actual, record, or inquiry” notice of another party's prior interest in the property). To the contrary, if Alia had conducted a proper title search in the Vacant Lot at the time of her purchase, she would have found both the 2005 quitclaim deed and the 2002 warranty deed from Adel to Amir, by which Adel divested himself of any interest in the Vacant Lot.
