Hi,
So my LL told me he's selling the property i currently rent on5th April.
Is that date consider the 2 months notice start date, or will i get another date when the property gets a buyer?
( it is 8 weeks notice he has to give me, isn't it) ?
Thanks

The first time we said hello, was the first time we said goodbye. As the angels took your tiny hand and flew you to the sky-you forever left us breathless. RIP my beautiful granddaughter

Is he selling it with you inside as an ongoing concern, or has he actually delivered notice/said you will need to leave because it's being sold?0

So he hasn't actually served you official notice, he's just said the house is being sold ideally to another BTL investor? How did he tell you the house was up for sale?betterlatethannever wrote: »Its being sold and he's hoping that another LL will buy it, but thats not very likely

He came to the house and told me the house was being sold, and the reasons why they had to sell.
What would official notice require?
The agent has a comment about the house being perfect for a first time buyer and I think its a little too high priced for a LL to take over- but I'm also being very negative . I love this house and desperately don't want to leave:( The first time we said hello, was the first time we said goodbye.

1) to be evicted you must be served a S21 Notice giving you 2 months (not 8 weeks). So far you have not received this.
2) if he sells to another landlord, he does not need to serve you notice. You just get a new landlord
3) if a new LL buys, you do not need a new tenancy agreement. The existing one continues, just with a new LL
4) if you get a new LL, he (new LL) must write to you giving you his details. See
Landlord & Tenant Act 1985 section 3.0
