Inherited tenant refusing to correspond?

I purchased a property 6 weeks ago with a tenant in place on a 12 month AST. The previous landlord said he was a good payer and up to date with all the rent.
I have tried everything possible to get in touch with him via telephone, text, letter and visits to request payment of rent but he will not reply or answer.
Other than giving him his notice in 2 weeks once his 2 months are up and then the subsequent eviction process does anyone have any other ideas?
Many thanks in advance.
Chris

Surely you can issue a section 8 if they don’t pay rent for 2 months plus.

“He was informed by the previous landlord that I was purchaser and he has had ample opportunity to speak to me”
Hopefully there is something moe formal than that, there should have been a proper tennancy novation through the conveyancer, process for the transfer of the deposit, who apportioned the rent and a formal direction to pay future rent to you, I’d start by going back to your conveyancer
