Haha! Yes unsure how a solitary For Sale sign for a small block of flats has suddenly turned into a disaster zone, all that was missing was a bonfire.

Me me me me me me me

oh and did I forget to say me me me ?

That appears to be the argument of the neighbour, it seems. Not sure what your point is.

Don't be ridiculous - I can scarcely believe the short-sightedness of the majority of posters in this thread.

Of course one board would not be a problem but then what about the second? And the rest? And then all the other rules that are not worth the same bit of paper they were all written on?

But of course if you can't see past your own board then your brain does not compute ...

JQ.

OP - are you, or are you not allowed to erect a for sale sign in the grounds according to your lease?

If a board is allowed in your lease, politely inform the managing agent of this and that you do not consent to having your lease altered.

As for the busy body they can bring it up at the next residents meeting where the committee should politely but firmly tell them to go away as it is permitted within the lease.

I state this as a former director of a residents committee and yes you do get some very interfering people. As long as you aren't doing something you are not allowed too then no-one has a valid complaint.

The OP has already said that they were wrong, but then decided to side with the mob who don't read before they post and who criticise people who care enough to stand up and be counted.

Nope, the OP has only said they were wrong about displaying signs inside and outside the window, hence my question above.

The lease does not specifically state that a sign cannot be erected, it does not specifically state that a sign can be erected, but it does state that any sign must be "in accordance with good estate agency practice".

The sign is new, it is normal size, it isn't obstructing anything, it is not unsafe, it is a bog standard For Sale sign.

The OP clearly owns nothing but the lease of a flat, no more. No "grounds" are owned or leased by the OP, just an internal demised section of a building. Not the brickwork exterior of the flat, nor of the neighbours flats, nor of the stairwell, nor the pathways to the front door, nor the garden if there is one, nor of the grass verge outside.

If it helps get the point across I can tell you that the farmer next door would be cross if someone put a sign up on the side of his barn or on his land ...

What is it with you people that have no respect for neighbours' property and rights?

As an aside, I've just noticed that the moany old bag has plant pots on her balcony, this is prohibited in the lease as they should be placed inside the window only - how disrespectful!
