No Inground Tank

  Should a buyer be told that there is no propane tank in the ground to run the range and fireplace? The buyer signed a contract and had no idea that there was no propane tank even though there is propane fireplace and stove.
 
  Is there an above-ground tank that the buyer could have seen?  If not -- I'm confused -- how did the previous owner do any cooking?
At any rate, the question is a good one for a lawyer if a large amount of money is involved, or for small claims court if it's a matter of a few thousand to remedy the problem.
