Landlord looking to sell

Many thanks..that was helpful but inconclusive..

Oddly enough, I have searched those same websites earlier today which helped me to conclude I need face to face advice with a professional to discuss my particular case..

Thank you

You do not have a clause in your contract about sale / landlord wanting to end contract? I wish you luck

Identical possession clause in 5 yr contract as posted by the original poster..no mention about sale and related process.. strange oversight as I expect many landlords will require sale at some point..my gut feeling is that it's down to tenant / landlord reaching amicable agreement for possession.

BTW I have just sent a private message to original poster requesting outcome / advice.

Thanks for your help 

Good. In several european countries like France the owner has an obligation to offer the tenant to buy it first. In others like in Scandinavia you will sell with the tenant «in» the property and the new owner will give the tenant notice of leave if they want to use the property themselves or continue the contract … In spain it is the same as in france: nb Land Registry makes the difference in Spain

Many thanks..yes. that was something else I found out..said landlord didn't formally notify me of pending sale and / or offer me first option to buy ...

Believe it or not he sent me WhatsApp message asking me if I would be available for someone to visit...

I had to ask twice for more details as i was concerned for my security

Only then, did he admit a prospective buyer wanted to view accompanied by an estate agent..unreal..

As you can tell, I'm just currently getting to grips with said contract legalities to be used to my best advantage as and when a sale is agreed..that is the time for maximum leverage for best outcome for me..

He will not want to lose said sale..

I understand. I feel sorry for you. 

Whichever law - in any contractual agreement transparency should always come first. Especially concerning someone’s home and it’s your home (even if his house).
