If the agent claims "we sent that written notice on such and such a day"
am I under written notice or not? Do they need proof of delivering such
notice, or just an entry in an office outgoing-mail book or something?

Could be tricky. Theoretically the landlord should ensure you were
properly
served with notice eg delivering written notice or sending it by
recorded delivery.

Since the agent gave verbal notice, the agent could successfully claim
that
written notice was lost in the post but would need to provide
reasonable
evidence that it was actually posted in a mail box.

Just a thought - if the landlord did not advise that written notice
was on its
way when giving verbal notice, thelandlord might hve a problem.
Conversely
if the landlord did advise that written notice was about to be posted,
and
produces evidence that it was posted, the landlord may prevail on this
one.
