<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

(We live in the UK) Our landlord called out of the blue at the weekend and has said they want to sell their flat that we currently let and they wish us to start making preparations to move. 

I met the landlord last night who said basically money troubles is the reason why. They want us to start looking for other places to live. In the meantime, they will be getting an estate agent to view the flat foe valuation. My housemate is out of the country for the next 2 weeks anyway, so I said we both need to have a discussion first. I pointed out that we weren't exactly in a position to move and that they were breaking the contract which she either didn't seem to realise was a big thing, or assumed we wouldn't make a fuss. I said we'd want to continue discussions via email (as we normally do) and we'd no doubt have some points an questions to clarify.  

I've checked a few uk sites about leasing and tenancy, and it looks like we're in a good position legally. They can't legally evict us within the tenancy period of 12 months, Ab even then they have to serve 2 months notice at the end. 

What I couldn't find was what possible outcomes there could be? We don't want to move unnecessarily but we're already planning for a worst case scenario. Could we demand compensation? Moving costs? Could we refuse to move until the tenancy period ends?
<bot>: 5 months into 12 months tenancy, landlord wants to sell the flat and break contract. Want to know what our rights are.
