Notice on rental property

My boyfriend and i are FTB's. Where waiting for everything to start etc and our solicitors have advised us to not put notice in on the rental place incase the survey reveals something.
Now my tenancy agreements states i need to give 2 mths notice on the date my rent comes out. So for me that would be Sept, leaving the place obviously in November.( agreement does end Nov)
Problem is if everything turns out ok, then we'd be moving way before November. The people where buying off have found a property, offer accepted and its vacant, so everything would be fairly quick.
Where do we stand in wanting to leave earlier if it comes to that? Ie put notice in Sept and say leave early Oct, could that happen?
We've been renting for 2 yrs, always paid rent on time, inspections always been to a high standard, we've re done the garden (with permission of course)
Could we maybe negotiate with the landlord if we do need to leave earlier? Does that happen?

If you are the tenant you only need to give 1 month notice. Landlord needs to give 2. It may say 2 on the tenancy agreement but from the tenants side it's 1. (all IMHO).A house isn't a home without a cat.
Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.

Ask the landlord, some are flexible and wont mind you giving 4 or 6 weeks notice.
We are in a similar position to you, but have decided to overlap leaving the rented place with when we move into the new place by a few weeks - this means we wont end up homeless if there are delays in completing, and also gives us a few weeks to arrange to get stuff done on the new house, furnitrure delivered etc...0
