    I'd recommend letting the agent know you are leaving about a week before the end of the fixed term that's plenty of time to get a checkout arranged. Do it any earlier and you will likely be hassled for viewings which is that last thing anyone needs to be bothered with when rushing about arranging to move.

    I wouldn't worry about the niceties of being polite by giving any longer notice given they have already served you notice. If the landlord didn't want a void he shouldn't serve notice on a perfectly good tenant.

    Certainly a tenant should not give notice before signing up to a new tenancy. That way you can stay on should you need more time to move. If you aren't going to leave by their notice date then you will need to serve your own notice as usual to end a periodic tenancy that will start if you stay on past the end of the fixed term.
