• Anybody got any advice?

    Landlord contacted us in January to say they were considering selling the property we're in. They assured us it wouldn't be quick process, and there have been a couple of emails, with up to 8 weeks delays from the landlord to respond since. We've asked multiply times for an indication of timescale, but never received one.

    There were viewings in May and today (14th June) we've just received an email asking us to sign a legal paper to state we'll be out on the 30th June as they've sold the property and the new owner would like to move in on the 1st July.

    Up to this point everything has been quite amicable, but obviously, two weeks isn't a lot of time. We've had no formal correspondence at all concerning any of this, just a couple of emails which were all quite chatty and nice.

    Anybody been in a similar situation?

  • What does your contract say? I'd imagine you need to be given 28 days notice, but it should state the notice period.

  • Our contract started in October 2012 and has been rolling since then. It states a minimum of 2 months notice. Since January we've been expecting a Section 21 notice informing of our statutory 2 months to vacate. The two weeks notice is very sudden.
