Thanks Grampa, useful points for me to consider.

Just looking for some advice from someone who may have experienced this, if anyone can help that would be great.

Hi, We're in the process of buying a property that has two self contained cottages attached to the main house. They are currently being rented out. One tenancy has passed the fixed term and is on a periodic basis, the other has three months left of the 6 months fixed term. The seller has said that notice has been served to the tenants (with Covid current rules, June 2022, we understand that to be four months notice). We want to continue with our purchase, taking over as the landlord with the knowledge that the tenants have been given notice and they will be leaving a couple of months after we have bought the property. I want to check that my understanding is correct, that the notice still applies even though there will be a changeover of landlords? Is there anything else we should be considering or concerned about (we are aware that we need to inform the tenants in writing of our details once we become the landlords)?
