Rental AST renewal date

The renewal of our AST was signed by us when due but the LL never signed it. The agent came back to us 5 months later and said one of the parties didn’t sign it so we signed it that day. The LL didn’t sign it for 3 weeks.

Is the tenancy from the date on the document or the signed date given there is 6 months nearly between dates?

    Agent profoundly ignorant, in England an AST does not need to be signed, not even in writing, verbal only entirely legal.They've been  accepting the rent?  Did it increase?

    Incidentally an AST doesn't need to be renewed at all - it simply carries on, rolling on monthly, no paperwork required at all. Same rent etc
