Landlord selling up - what are my rights?

I've posted on chat and been advised I may get more responses here.

4 months into my 6 month tenancy, we've been given a section 21 notice as the landlord is selling.

Someone is coming to measure up, do a floor plan and take photos. Do I have to:

A.) Allow viewings?
B.) Allow photos with my personal belongings in the property? They have photos of it empty that they used to market it as a rental.

I've Googled both q's, but the answers are in consistent so I'd be grateful to know where I stand.

Thanks

Lost my reply, so apologies if it reappears and Ive repeated myself.

No Wales same rules as England.

You really do have the upperhand renting, they should be willing to accomodate some reasonable demands from you. Dont be afraid to ask.

They've asked to do some viewings and I've said no. I feel very unwell from the stress and my teething baby is making things trickier so I just said no. It's too inconvenient for me to be tied down to a certain time when I need to go and view properties myself as soon as they come up (they don't have keys).

I'm guessing this means they'd give me a crap reference to another letting agency/landlord?
