Yes, but possession and ownership must be distinguished. An occupant may be a tenant, a holder of a right of use or an unauthorised possessor. A seller’s promise that “everyone will leave” is insufficient; existing rights do not always end on transfer.
Practical example
A family occupies under a valid tenancy. Its position differs from a seller’s guest; departure deadlines and rights require examination of the agreements.
What to check
Request all occupancy agreements and encumbrance details. Specify vacant-possession deadlines and liability. Consider linking the final payment to actual vacancy.
