Confusion over rental notice/buying a house - help!!

One calender month? So you have a Contractual Periodic Tenancy I assume?Yes, sorry that wasn't clear! We will only be giving notice when we've exchanged. Fortunately we only have to give one month's notice on our rental place. Also the overlap means we can decorate the new house, move slowly and have time to clean the rental before handing back the keys.0 -

We still have an AST but our landlord added a clause to state we could give one month's notice when we told him we were buying, I asked just to go onto a rolling monthly contract but the letting agent persuaded them otherwise to get their annual fee! It's a rental period month, so if we give notice before 29th May we hand the keys back on 28th June.0 -
The Letting Agent persuaded who, the landlord? It is your choice to go on to Periodic Tenancy at the end of AST not the LL or LA.0

The landlord. I realise from reading on here you can just not sign a new contract and go into a periodic tenancy but the landlord asked us to sign a new contract, which we did. To be honest we just wanted to keep the good relationship we have built with our landlord, as we'd like our deposit back.
We are very fortunate that in 7 years of renting we've never had an inspection and have been allowed to have a home in someone else's house. After reading so many horror stories on here I feel lucky!0
