Just tell them you are moving out and no one is moving in...they don't need to know whether it's rented/owned or whether even somebody is moving in afterwards. Just say it's going to be knocked down to make way for a car park if you want to!

are we being awkward not giving it?

No, in fact I suspect you'll be breaking the DPA if you do, and risk getting a criminal record yourself.

Say the new occupier's name is "The Occupier". Why they don't accept a simple I don't know I'm not sure is beyond me? They could always do a land registry search to see who owns it now. Or they could speak/write to the local council. Make sure you have proof of the final meter reading. I'd take a picture of the meter reading as proof.

You can buy a house, someone else can occupy it.
If i was buying your house i would be very annoyed if you were giving out details about me.
Just put yourself in the buyers shoes or tell them.
