That's our worry at the moment, we're still in negotiations stage so if/when we get accepted we're going to get full clarity on the tenant situation i.e has eviction been served, have they found a new place to move into and when etc etc. Don't really trust most EA especially this at purplebricks. I think the viewing every 2 weeks will work i  our favour it just means we'll have 2 weeks where no other people are viewing whilst we hash out the price

The only people you can get clarification from is the tenants.

2 week viewing suggest the they know what they are doing and are not going to be pushed around just because the vendor wants to sell their home.

You will have no idea if what you are told is the absolute truth and even if you are told the tenants hope to move on a set date you have no guarantee this will happen.  
If they are trying to get council accommodation they must be evicted before this will happen which means going through court.

We love this place and just praying we get it especially now with the SD break. The tenants were sat on their laptops on the dining table when they had the mass viewing which did slightly put us on edge walking around viewing the house! And i can understand from their point of view too and grateful that they actually allowed viewing to take place during this time, it is withun their right to refuse any viewings. Just have to wait and see what the response is tomorrow....
