Assume I *had* given them confirmation of vacant possession, so that they can complete. The agent has said that a new tenancy agreement would be drawn up between me and the new owners.

I wouldn't trust them one inch - if they are prepared to support the buyer in committing fraud, do you really think they won't think twice about shafting you as well?

Clearly it seems wrong that they would be letting out the property without a BTL mortgage, but what would problems could that lead to for me?[/QUOTE]

Accessory to fraud, perchance?

Personally, I would decline to make any further communications on this matter. It's the current landlord's and the buyer's problem, nothing to do with you at all.
I would also start thinking about moving, just in case the buyer decides they want you out as early as they can legally do so.

You are putting yourself at great risk for absolutely no gain. You are already in a fixed contract that protects you even if your landlord changes, do not risk that.
