Mortgage to buy a home which is currently being rented

I have a problem that I cannot find a bank that will give me a homebuyers mortgage for the property I wish to buy.
The buyer has given me a good price to take on the tenant. The tenant will be given 2 months notice the moment we exchange. I'm happy with this part.
However the banks I have asked say that they will either not give me a mortgage if there are tenants during exchange or, worse, will not release funds if the property is not vacant at completion.
Does anyone know a bank that will allow this?
