You can ask, but they may not. No harm there though. |

Hey, I don't live in UK, but shouldn't you have included that in your conditions of purchase? --I'll buy your house for an amount of money, subject to your immediately vacating the premises?
Here in the US owners who sell generally expect to move upon close of escrow unless the purchaser agrees to let them remain.
Your customs and laws may vary. Or maybe you've belately decided you want to move in. Do you have an agreement with the seller that you now want to break?
In my area, new landlords often pay tenants to move out expeditiously. |

Before I clicked on your question for the rest of the story, all I saw was:
Is it out of order to ask current owners to move out so I can move in?
My first thought was:
Isn't that what the Americans did with the Indians?
To answer your question: The current owners don't have to vacate their house until ownership is acaually transferred to the new owner, at least over here in the U.S. You might be able to work something out with them, though. It wouldn't hurt to ask. |

That should have been negotiated in the sales contract. |
|
Do I know you? ya right LoL
|
what did you agree on when you bought the house from them? |

In the United States you can. If the owners agree to move out all you have to do is strike a buyer's occupancy agreement which is then used as an exhibit and amendment to the original accepted offer to purchase. |

if the people have a lease, your purchase was subject to their occupancy
if they are month to month, then at the end of their rental periiod they must evacuate. |

If they have not signed, no. If the sale contract has been signed, yes. Unless it was stipulated how long they could remain. Read your contract and if immediate reliquishment is specified, do a stop payment, or void contract.

I don't know England laws but when you closed (signed all the papers to purchase your home) a date to take possession should have been discussed and agreed upon at that time.
If this was not done, talk to your attorney. Perhaps he can mail them a letter indicating your preference of when you want to take possession. |

does the purchase agreement you signed indicated the tenent will move out by closing? if no, you probably will have to honour the previous lease/rental agreement until it expires.
Good luck |

I dont believe it's out of order, but you may want to read the laws or consult an attorney just to make sure you do things properly. |

You can make your offer conditional on the current owners moving out by a certain date. However they do not have to accept this offer if they feel they can get as good a price without the additional demand of moving sooner. If you have already concluded the transaction and there is no date in the contract, then it's too late to negotiate a date - but you can of course ask nicely!
This is just the law of supply and demand working. Presumably there were more than one bidders on this house, so the sellers were able to set the terms to their advantage. Now that they have chosen you, you cannot renegotiate the terms after the contract is signed. |

You can try, but you'd have to add it to a contract and sign and have that new contract accepted. Otherwise neither of you will have legal rights in the issue. you'd have to pay them rent until the closing. |

it's out of order to have the current owners to move out. there's a period of time to the current owners to move out. it's called the closing costs. just be patient and wait. the time will come for u to move in ur new home.
It's also rude to do so. |

If you had stated in your contract negotiations, you could. Was it not mentioned during the time you was making your offer? |

It doesn't hurt to ask, perhaps you can offer them payment at a lesser rate than your current rent, so at least you can save some money.... |

i would think yes but if you do ask do it with tack and grace....Be polite to their answer whatever it may be... |
