At what point does a landlord have permission to give a buyer permission to inspect land,end of tenancy ,by agreement with tenant. Or say nothing and just do it.Even if livestock in fields.

What does the tenancy agreement say? Regardless you have a legal obligation to give a buyer 24 hours notice and they can refuse if the time is not suitable.

If you are selling you will be instructing the solicitor as to end of tenancy issues and the sale so that is the person to ask. Tenancy agreements normally have a clause dealing with inspection, sale boards etc. Best not to start a row at an important time. Cooperation is essential to make the process smooth, and now you have published what you might do, you are almost bound to be caught if you go unannounced.

It’s just a question of reasonable or unreasonable but at end of relationships such things get obscured. Good manners would be by giving notice of intended sale then an individual viewing with 7 days prior notice to tenant but legally and considering any viewer is prospectively someone you are going to have a future relationship with best to bend over backwards to cooperate with initially. But there is almost invariably hard feelings and animosity at end of any relationship, just have to accept reality and move on.
Legally other than interfering with “your peaceful enjoyment of the rented land” or trespass both of which are somewhat flexible notions.
Good luck but don’t let it get to you.
