My tenant wants to offer on my BTL.

He has been served notice to quit (6 month AST) and has around 6 weeks to leave.

It's unlikely that we would complete the sale in time if he does buy the property.

It's managed via an agent, so I presume that he can move on to a periodic rolling agreement fairly easily.

Is that a good way to proceed?

I don't want to get involved with managing his deposit, so would prefer to let the agent sort out renting until completion.

Just want to avoid any issues if we can't agree a sale and he has to leave.

Thanks.
