Robert B. MALKANI and Elaine Malkani, Appellants, v. Edwin T. PRESLEY and Nadia M. Presley, Appellees.
    No. 5D00-3632.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
    Dec. 7, 2001.
    Stuart C. Markman, Katherine Earle Yanes and Robert W. Ritsch, of Kynes, Markman & Feldman, P.A., Tampa, for Appellants.
    Charles D. Hood, Jr., and K. Judith Lane, of Smith, Hood, Perkins, Loucks, Stout & Orfinger, P.A., Daytona Beach, for Appellees.
   HARRIS, J.

We find no error in the trial court’s non-jury resolution of the Malkanis’ claims of fraud and failure to disclose defects in their action against the Presleys and affirm. We also affirm the trial court in foreclosing the mortgage held by the Pres-leys but remand with directions to the trial court to reduce the postjudgment interest from 18 percent to. that provided in section 55.08, Florida Statutes.

AFFIRMED with directions.

PETERSON and PALMER, JJ., concur.
