showing property to new tenants

1) I'm not sure you can stop them contacting you, other than if you wanted to class it as harrassment.
2) Reasonable access is basically IMO any access with 24 hours notice, when you are available at the property.
3) As per two.

The only thing I would add is that, as much as it is annoying for yourselves, bear in mind that the quicker they re-let the property the quicker the viewings will stop, and they are after all only trying to re-let. It is worth being as accomodating as possible (within reason) at this "end game" stage of the tenancy.

Agreed, but IMO 3 months in advance is not unreasonable, and should at least mean(if we work on the basis of requiring 2 months to re-let) that you have a trouble free last month when you want it for moving.

I do fully understand your point however, and you can ultimately refuse ANY viewing.

They can only base it upon the amended version, as this is the only one they could even come close to showing there was any agreement on.

Some agents are brilliant, some less so, some are useless.

What they should be doing is agreeing some ground rules with you. So, for example, you could agree with them that viewing take place on weekdays, other than Monday when it's not convenient for you. That they will have the courtesy of giving you at least a day's notice (or you could agree viewings only on a Saturday between 10 and 4). You could also agree with them to only phone you between x and y each day.

It is your home after all, and they should respect this.

Tell them that you want to be reasonable, but they are not as they are calling you at all times of the day and night, and want viewings at the drop of a hat.
