Contract with vacant possession but i want to keep the tenant.

Hi all

I signed the contract with vacant possession but i want to keep the tenant.
RE Agent told me that the tenant will stay but contract has not been amended. My solicitors remind me it will be vacant possession as the contract.
Tenant already expressed that he is willing to stay another 6 months.
He is paying premium and keep the house nice and tidy.

I don't understand why vendor didn't set the contract subject to lease either.
Should i ask vendor to amend the contract ?

Thanks for your advice
 
I think the lease agreement already expired. Agent told me before i can get vacant possession on contract. Owner need to sell to fund his business so he didn't renew the lease.
 
If you want the tenant to remain in the property you state this in the contract.

If you have signed a contract to the contrary you will need to amend the contract however you should confirm that notice has not been given as the tenant may already have made other arrangements.

Regards

Andrew
