    When I viewed my house it had tenants.  By the second viewing (over a month later) they were gone.

    Maybe I got lucky...

    That’s rather bold to start marketing the property with tenants in-situ or are you marketing it towards BTL investors? 
    We discussed the situation with the estate agent and followed their advice. Our family have agreed to vacate within a deadline that will *hopefully* mean the house is vacant well before the process will be near exchange or completion. 

    Personally I wouldn't even go to view a property with tenants in unless I was intending to buy as a landlord, so you will be losing potential buyers with the tenants still in situ.... 
    Me neither. 
    However, unless a potential purchaser asks if a property is currently tenanted, the EA is unlikely to offer that info. 
    I suspect most don’t even think to ask.
