An update has come, this is the reply I've just received:
My sincere apologies.
The email I sent you requesting a move-out in two weeks was a mistake.
At first when I began reading your email I couldn't understand your
email at first. Then I had a look back at what I'd said.No, clearly two weeks is obviously not an acceptable time frame. This
was a genuine mistake which occurred whilst looking at the wrong month
on my laptop calendar. I hope you'll accept my apologies for the undue
stress caused to you upon reading that.The actual date I had intended to reference was the last Friday of
July, being midday on the 29th of July as the final move-out date.The property being vacated on this day is not ideal and the day before
would be better to allow time for a change over, but as I had
mentioned in my previous email, it's common for people to want to move
on a Friday - the prospective buyers would like to pick up keys on the
Friday afternoon and I was prepared to include this day incase you
also had this preference.Could you please confirm you are in agreement with a move out date of
July 29th.Would you also provide your partners surname please as the purchasers
solicitors require that information and my solicitors may also be
required to get a signature from both you and your partner that you are aware
of the Sale and confirming it will be vacated by the given date.Regarding the check out report, I could look back at the file although
I'm sure your right when you say that the lettings agents made a mess of
the check-in and I believe that was also one of the reasons I chose to
dispense with their services too.I won't therefore be booking an inventory clerk-although I had not
intended to in any case-and will arrange for someone to visit the
property as you move out or immediately after you have vacated your
possessions.Its starting to feel like a joke. So far we've gone from two weeks notice, to now six weeks. Although, I'm not sure what's happened to the two months stated in the contract?
Hopefully this means you'll be able to negotiate a nice big pay off.
Keep us updated. Your situation really boils my piss. If he wants you out, he has to make it worth your while.
