    To start with terminating your fixed term tenancy without your approval is impossible for your landlord. They can sell the property whilst you are a tenant, but all that means is that you change owners and continue paying your rent to the new owner until 12/12/13.

    You could negotiate a deal whereby you are prepared to vacate early provided they pay YOU compensation (1 or 2 months rent would be reasonable).

    As for open homes they are entitled to do this but again they should compensate you for the disruption (especially if you agreed to tidy the place up prior to inspection and be away during the inspection. Some reduce the rent during the sale period by say 10% (again negotiable).
