A closure order doesn't, by itself, end a tenancy.
It may be that such an order makes it reasonable for a landlord to evict someone (but I'm not sure of that either - unless the tenant was the cause of the closure order), but they're still stuck with the contract....

Go through lettings agent's complaints process then the relevant letting agent redress scheme.

What agreement did you have with the letting agent?
Was there a tenancy agreement and were they the landlord?

A closure order doesn't change the contract that you have with the agent, so the contract you had is important in determining what right(s) you have.

Forum rules prevent any naming/recommending unfortunately. My agency is in the city centre and from experience I'd recommend looking at online reviews of agents local to your property, then comparing fees. Ideally avoid national chains....
