Where to find temporary rental accommodation between sale and purchase?

Airbnb definitely. Especially if it's over the winter when most hosts may not be able to rent their place as a holiday let. They can be pretty flexible to you staying a few months, instead of getting tied into a longer term rental contract

I went onto a 'rolling' monthly contract when my six months were up @subjecttocontract, I'm in England.  Was I just lucky?

It depends on what your tenancy agreement says about your 6 month advance payment.

This seems to clarify that you do have a choice - What Happens When a 6 Month Tenancy Ends | Lawhive

Yes, you always have a choice. Tenants in periodic tendencies must give notice required by common law. Common law requires one periods notice for tenants, this means tenants who have paid 6 months rent in advance in a fixed term tenancy must give 6 months notice to terminate the tenancy once the tenancy becomes periodic.

Many don't realise this and rely on the Lettings/ Estate Agent to give advice....which is often wrong.

Personally I'd go for an long term let and see if you can negotiate a 6 month break clause.  Did the same on a similar position.  Ended up there 12 months in the end anyway.
