    artful haha yes but technically the lease does not "say" 24 hours for valuations so I'll leave that to your conscience ;)

    I do hope it's a mistress - if my landlord is going to scare my like this it had better be for a good reason.

    I'll update once I have further news!

    Right, so my landlord is selling. Balls. Section 21 served and everything.

    You know as I do that S21 doesn't mean you have to move yet. Stay until you have found somewhere else.

    Have you thought of buying your current flat, could get it cheaper to save LL trouble with viewings etc?

    No true, but won't it scupper my ability to rent elsewhere if I've stayed here beyond my welcome?

    I am considering buying (other thread here: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5541362 - updated at post 31) but I wouldn't be able to afford this place by miles. Ognum, if I recall you're local to me - with the deposit that you can see in my signature, you'll support me in saying I can't even afford to buy a parking space locally! :(

    You are right but IMO prices are stagnating a bit and the past rush of 30 viewers and 20 offers seem to be falling away.

    I will keep looking for you, are you interested in current area or could you go out further maybe Cherry Hinton or Trumpington way?

    It will take your LL longer than 8 weeks to get to exchange, they may actually be happy for you to stay a few weeks longer and pay rent
