You do not have a contract with the agency. So you cannot terminate it.

If your terminate your rental agreement with the LL and stay beyond that date, he can charge you double rent. 

He may be trying to avoid termination fees with the agency but he needs to understand the jeopardy he is asking you to accept (like no roof over your head).

We already have signed new contract with him and we got a copy. And i have emailed the agency to terminate the contract with them. And i think he do want to avoid paying them fees with agency.

i don’t think we can be in trouble if we have signed new contract with him but also cancelled the contract with agency 

You have been told numerous times on this thread - you do not have a contract with the agency that you can terminate. You have a contract with the landlord.

I have absolutely no idea how it is possible to end a tenancy and start a new one in the same property - by sending an email to an agency (with whom you don't have a contract) to tell them that you want to end a tenancy on a particular date. But that you don't want to leave the property. What would such a message look like "I would like the tenancy to end on ________ but I'm not leaving"????

I do hope it doesn’t turn out that somewhere along the line the OP DOES have some form of contract which names the agent because if so, they have just made a fraudulent claim that they intend to move out… 

OP - don’t be at all surprised when someone from the agents turns up at the door on “moving out day” to check that you are actually going…

To be honest I don’t know how it works. But someone also mentioned that as long as we have new contract signed with the landlord and bank details given we shouldn’t have any issues by ending the contract with agency.

I’m sure the landlord maybe tries to avoid paying fees to the agent. That’s above my knowledge. We have signed new contract with landlord and got a copy. 

I don’t think we can get in trouble by having new landlord. He have mentioned that he will gonna deal the rest with agency about check out and deposit

Then how this will work if we finished the contract with agency but signed new one with the landlord starting the next day of finishing tenancy ?

OP I don't understand what it is you don't understand
You do not have a 'new landlord' you have the same one you always had
You should not be finishing your previous contract with your landlord just so that you can sign a new one.
That is the landlord's problem not yours
As long as your new contract is signed by both parties you have done everything you need to and the agent is irrelevant

Yes, we have signed the new contract, both parties, and we got a copy. 

He asked me to do that as it will look more tidy with agency. I’m sure there is a procedure in place that we don’t know.

That is irrelevant. The landlord owns the property and the landlord receives the rent ( via the agency)
The agency is not your landlord
Look up the definition of 'agent'

The landlord have confirmed that the agency is aware that we will continue living in the house.
