advice needed urgently

princeofpounds

So i can actually tell her she can not inspect the property,i thought you had to let them in if given 24hours

No. You are supposed to let them in with 24 hours written notice (or if you have pre-agreed somehow, perhaps in the contract, although such agreement can be withdrawn at any time) for reasonable inspections.

However, they cannot enforce entry unless they have a court order or there is a genuine emergency (fire, flood, gas leak).

Should they go down the court order route (which would be long after you have left in any case) you would have a reasonable, IMO, grounds for refusing the inspection, it being unreasonable and being conducted for the purpose of harrassment rather than than an actual inspection. You might still get a court order for an inspection made, but the LL might not get their costs awarded.

Don't start playing games, however tempted you might be. It might just backfire on you in further ways you'd rather not have.
