Section 21 notice - Any options to extend?

If it's not protected that is one of the grounds making the S21 invalid. If you do find there are faults with the S21 it's probably best to say nothing until the LL applies to the court where it will be thrown out. Use strategies to spin things out as long as possible.LL won't have grounds to hold the deposit, but that doesn't mean he/she won't try to be difficult and withhold it as long as possible. Just be prepared to go without it for a while and use the deposit scheme arbitration process to get it back (it's protected right?)0 -
Cool. So LAst point from me ( I think) in this circumstance at what point should we make it clear that we are not moving? we are still 5 weeks away from the exit date. So do we just leave it to the week before...? Or tell them now?365 Day 1p challenge - £371.49 / 667.95

You don't have an obligation to tell them, but nearer the time, I would explain to them nicely that your purchase has only x weeks left so it would be in everyone's interests to hold off on court / bailiffs until then and mutually terminate at some point after the S21.
* LL saves shelling out on court costs / bailiffs
* You save ultimate responsibility for court costs / bailiffs
* LL gets a definite leaving date so he can plan for new tenants with minimal void
* You get a definite leaving date so you can plan for completion date with minimal mortgage+rent overlap.0
