8 week notice period delaying completion

We (FTB) had our offer accepted at the end of March and are at the stage of discussing completion dates.

We are currently renting, and our landlord is asking for 8 weeks notice, as they can under the Renters Rights Bill.

This would mean we’d only be able to end our tenancy (and cease paying rent) end of July. We want to avoid rent/mortgage overlapping as much as possible.

Our sellers are not happy with this and are viewing it as an unacceptable delay to complete the sale.

Are we being unreasonable in this scenario? It has only been 2 months since the offer was accepted.
