    Maybe ask if the EA has any properties which are actually for sale by the people living in them, as opposed to a LL model. I would personally drop any property until it was vacated and wouldnt waste any time on searches etc

    Thank you - she is in regular contact with the estate agents in the area and vacant possession would be her preference, however this is a particularly nice house in the right location. As I say, just considering all options.

    Thank you for all your replies. They are reinforcing what I had thought, wait it out and negotiate for vacant possession.

    Just found out that property 2 without the tenancy agreement is because vendor is currently living there and wants to stay on as tenant. So this is definitely a no!

    Does you sister want to be landlord? Does she know what the landlord does? Does she know the tenants rights?

    Yes, she knows what the landlord does (or should do!) and knows her rights as tenant. I am also a landlord.
