@John Smyth, depends on a lot of factors, but shouldn't be longer than a few days, unless there are outstanding circumstances.

Outstanding liens should always be recorded.

Did you collect any outstanding security deposit from the previous owner?

There is a local primary school (West Hill Primary) and a secondary school in Ottery (Kings School) with both schools rated as "outstanding" by Ofstead.

I have invested a couple times at near market highs and those properties depreciated in the short-term (implied by invested near market high) but today look to be outstanding investments. 

We bought our first SFR last year (a 2-1,1930s craftsman style) and have had it rented to outstanding tenants for over a year.  

@Elaine Fawcett I've been told by auctioneers that the hidden reserve is generally at least 70% of whatever the total outstanding debt is on the property, if not closer to 100%, particularly in the competitive market most areas are seeing.

I am willing to work extremely hard to help my father have a steady steam of passive income by the age of 60 -- I believe he deserves that at the very least for all the years of hard work he has put in and the outstanding life he has provided me regardless of hardships he has had to face.

It's plenty simple to say any payments made first go to any outstanding balances, then rents, then parking spaces.

This fee is added each month that there is any outstanding balance due.
