How to vacate the tenant from a property purchased upon verbal assurance by seller?

I purchased a tenanted villa recently. Before signing form B, we asked the seller through the broker if the tenant could vacate the house upon expiry of the tenancy contract, and the seller said yes verbally.

So we signed form B, proceeded with the buying process, and confirmed as vacate house again with the seller during the final transfer.

We've sold the place we used to live in because we will move into this new house and stay in temporary accommodation until the tenancy contract of this new house expires.

However, now the tenant doesn't want to vacate the house upon expiry of the tenancy contract.

What can I do in this case?

Dear Questioner,

Is the transfer complete?

Is there any clause about the tenant in the contract or the addendum?

We need to review all the documents before we can provide you with appropriate legal advice.

You can contact us on the phone.

The transfer is complete, and there is no clause about the tenant in the contract.

We just believed based on the seller's answer, but we checked many times with the seller and the broker.

Dear Sir,

Upon reviewing the brief, it is quite apparent there is a breach from the seller. However, we need to review the agreement to advise you on a further course of action.

You may contact us by email for a free 30 mins consultation for the same.

We just believed and signed based on the seller's answer, but we often checked with the seller and the broker. That's why we purchased the house to move in.
