Hi JigglyPuff, The sales agent has let slip that that buyer wants to occupy so definitely not an opportunity to simple lease from new owner. I tried that option first because I though it would be the easiest for all concerned.

good thinking on their part... I might lodge a caveat just to be sure. I think most solicitors do all the searches in the last couple of weeks before settlement so if I get it lodged tomorrow the buyers might see it and contact me to find out what the story is....

actually I was speaking to my current agent about the situation today when she came to do an inspection (she's a very cool agent). She pointed out that that if a property is put on the market within the 1st two months of lease the tenants have the option to break lease at anytime while it's on...

*facepalm* why didn't I think of that? I just spoke to them and they had the opinion that it was definitely a binding agreement. They weren't sure if I had recourse through the tribunal or small claims court but I'll follow that up a bit further.

I had a rental application approved for a property I wish to rent. Now it's a long story but basically between the approval and the signing of the lease there was about a 2 week period during which I had to connect phone/adsl/electricity. This was done with full knowledge and agreement of the...
