Hey guys, Does anyone have any idea where I might be able to buy Thomas Hardy Ale? Thank you!

UPDATE! Thanks for all the advice so far, guys! So I popped by Foxtons yesterday and spoke to their contract renewals team who advised that provided the LL agrees, we could sign another AST, but with the option to give a 2-month notice. Today I then heard back from the LL advising that since we have already done 2 renewals, we can now opt out of their contract, which is great news! However, the LL now suggested we sign another AST subject to 2 months notice after the first 4 months! Arrrrgh! Since Foxtons are now out of the picture, I would like to suggest to him to not sign anything and just let it default to the statutory periodic tenancy with one month notice. Do you reckon that is a good idea? Or is there anything he can do (i.e. kick us out) if we refuse to sign a new contract? Thanks again!

Thank you Izodia! I have a feeling Foxtons won't agree as they would lose out on the contract renewal fee they would normally charge at that stage. They have already been in touch asking if we would like to renew (the landlord also indicated he will want to increase the rent). I wonder what would happen if we told them we were happy to stay in the property, but simply don't return the contract... Would that mean it would turn into a periodic tenancy automatically or would they be able to kick us out? :-s

Hi Everyone, Hoping someone might have been in a similar situation in the past and can give me some advice... I have been renting a flat in ED for the last 3 years and the lease is coming up for annual renewal in August. During the last renewal, we managed to negotiate a 6-month-break-clause. I deal directly with the landlord and the contract is arranged via Foxtons. I am now looking at potentially buing a place (have not taken any concrete steps yet), so obviously being stuck in a 12 month fixed term tenancy with an obligation to cover the rent up until the term ends would not be ideal. I have approached my landlord to explain the situation and asked if it was possible to change the fixed term tenancy into a monthly periodic tenancy. He advised that he is under contract with Foxtons and that they would not agree to this, even though I suggested we sign a new contract just stating that it's now a monthly periodic tenancy, just so that Foxtons can charge us their contract renewal fee. So it seems while my landlord would be fine with it (seeing we have been renting the place for 3 years), the problem appears to be with Foxtons... I don't know what to do now... Is my only option to stay on and put the plan to buy on hold until the 6 month break period that he offered has passed or are there any alternatives? Many thanks in advance! ilona
