They are coming from the "well, we are saying yes to 30k under asking, so for us to say yes then we want to stay until March" angle. Which is kind of bullshit, and I do want to say jog on, pay us rent from completion until you move. But at the same time this is the house we want by a long way and are okay with bending over a little bit so we get it. Just want to make sure we don't bend too much...
I'd say "that's great, actually - I'm expecting the continuing pressure on house prices from Brexit to have really pushed the market down by that point, so I'm happy to agree to this as long as we complete at the market rate on the day".
Then offer them £200k under your current bid in the day they emigrate.
(I don't know if this is legally possible btw).
