Why would landlords solicitors need our date of births?

Hello. Husband and I bought our own property. Have a few weeks left in our rental which landlord has accepted offer on. Estate agents emailed me asking for my date of birth and my husbands as the landlords solicitor needs this for his paperwork. Surely the sale is between the vendor and buyer so why would they need the ‘tenants’ (us) dates of births for their paperwork? Why would any of our details be on the landlords solicitors paperwork? Thanks

No idea - suggest you ask them if you need to know. Or just tell them.0

when you sell a property, you have to declare people who live there and sign an agreement that they promise they will leave before completion of the sale - thereby confirming that it’s being sold with’vacant possession’0

Still no need for you as tenants to even speak to a solicitor.
Guess the LL is hoping to get Rent right up to the day he sells the property.
Not your problem.
If he wants to get you out ASAP that is up to you IF you want to leave early.
After you get Full deposit back and extra for all the trouble it will of course cause.
Early mutual surrender !0 -
So I went back and asked why they needed our DOB’s and what paperwork my personal information was going on and now they said they don’t need this info, it was an error.0
