PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.
The MSE Forum Team would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas. However, we know this time of year can be difficult for some. If you're struggling during the festive period, here's a list of organisations that might be able to help

    The law says that such signs can stay in place until 14 days after completion or signing of a tenancy agreement.

    After 14 days, take it down yourself and ask them to come and collect it.
    Sure enough, that is correct. But it is not sufficient reason to feel compelled to leave it up. If as tenant, - or newly moved in owner - you don't want there, don't feel embarrassed about taking it down

    But that's the point, we are taking it down. Agent 2 says they took it down repeatedly after agent 1 was sacked, and every day they come into the garden to fetch it and put it back up again. It's been put up again tonight even after I emailed last night.

    I'll leave it until the 14 day point is up, and see what they say after that.

    Offer to return it to them. By posting it through their letter box if they don't come and collect it.


    If they haven't got a letter box, perhaps you could try nailing to their shop window :D

    If you're political, I guess they'd make great "Vote Whatever" signs. Stick it in the shed till the next election.
