| Lollypop' Board | 'V' Board | |
| The Lollypop board is erected to a post or fence and is the Tallest board known in the Estate agency world. Lollypop boards are used for ground floor properties, houses and on retaining walls or railings. | The 'V' boards are attached to the exterior of the property and are commonly used on flats and apartments on the first floor and above. |
| Boards for advertising |
'For sale' boards or 'to let' boards are a great means of advertising a property within the local area. When marketing a property, unless instructed otherwise, we will always erect a 'for sale' / 'to let' board outside each property at our expense.
For sales properties: Once a property has received an offer we will change the board slip to read 'under offer'. Once contracts have been exchanged we will change the 'slip to read 'SOLD'. On completion we will remove the board.
For lettings properties: Once the property has been LET - we will erect a Let by board. If we are not managing the property then this will be removed shortly afterwards. If we are managing the property we would always advise to keep the board up as a contact for people to call if there are issues with the property. Our property management team have received numerous helpful calls from members of the public and have been able to deal with issues, when the tenants have been away. These issues no doubt would have been significantly worse if the public did not know how to contact us.
| No Boards |
In certain areas councils have different rules regarding the erection of estate agents boards. Eg None at all in certain areas / black and white only boards in certain areas etc.. In certain Leasehold blocks - the lease forbids estate agents boards. Please therefore note that we cannot therefore always erect a board.
If of course as a landlord or a vendor you do not wish to have a board you of course do not have to have one.
| Board replacements |
We understand that boards may be knocked down, fall down and we know that our boards are deliberately removed by rival estate agents. We will of course re-erect / replace the board for you on a reasonable number of occasions, providing we are legally allowed to erect a board.
(We offer a £500 reward to anyone who provides us with evidence that leads to the successful prosecution of an estate agent unlawfully removing one of our boards).
