(a) Whenever lands or any interest therein are condemned by any person, corporation or political subdivision under any statute of this State, and the amount of damages ascertained shall have been paid or deposited as provided in the statute, the record thereof shall be filed in the office of the prothonotary for the county, in which the land lies and the person, corporation or political subdivision for whose benefit such land is condemned, shall secure from the prothonotary a certified abstract of the record of such condemnation proceedings. The certified abstract shall include a description of the land condemned, a statement of the title or interest so acquired, the name of the former owner or owners of such interest, the name of the person, corporation or political subdivision, acquiring the interest through the proceedings and a memorandum showing the amount of damages paid or deposited. The abstract shall, within 30 days after the memorandum showing the amount of damages paid or deposited shall have been filed in the prothonotary’s office, be recorded in the office of the recorder of deeds for the county wherein the land lies, in the deed records of the county and shall be indexed by the recorder in the name of the condemning person, corporation or political subdivision, as the grantee, and in the name of the former owner or owners of the land, as the grantor or grantors.

(b) If such abstract is not recorded as provided in subsection (a) of this section, the condemnation proceedings shall not avail against a subsequent fair creditor, mortgagee or purchaser, for a valuable consideration, unless it shall appear that such creditor when giving the credit, or such mortgagee or purchaser, when advancing the consideration, had notice of such condemnation proceedings.
