I know that "No Fault Eviction" has gone (or is about to go) but what is the position when a landlord wants to sell a rented property?

Not classed as a no fault eviction is my understanding.
This reform is a disaster for tenants, landlords exiting and a reluctance for new small landlords to join. The result will be either further shortages or rise of the mega corporate landlords, year on year rent increases, poor maintenance...3 -
Is there no other way?
Give a lengthy period of notice?

Hope that "caprikid1" is correct about the situation when a landlord wants to sell.0

Assuming that England ends up with similar legislation to Scotland, then the sale of the property would be one of the permitted reasons to end the tenancy.1

The abolition of Section 21 notices is expected to come into effect in the summer of 2025. The Renters (Reform) Bill, which includes the abolition of Section 21, is currently making its way through Parliament.
as you want to know what will happen, read the bill
Renters (Reform) Bill
page 144 schedule 1 ground 1 paras 2 & 3 answer your question re selling
I advise you to read the rest of the bill so you understand all the other grounds as well.1 -

You can serve notice if you intend to sell - but then if you can't get a buyer once it's empty I think it's 12 months before you can change your mind and let it again0
