For Sale Board

The double-sided board is a standard size and shape. The object of the board is to attract attention, so put it where it will be most visible and where it directly relates to your property.

You are responsible for obtaining a suitable post or other fixings for display purposes.For a firm ground fitting in soil, use a spike, which can be bought from most DIY stores. Also supplied will be a ‘Sold’ label to attach to the board when you have accepted an offer.

There are rules and regulations concerning Agency boards, set down in the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 1992 – a copy of the relevant schedule is available from this web site

The pertinent points are:

• Not more than one such advertisement, consisting of a single board or two joined boards, is permitted.
• Where more than one such advertisement is displayed, the first to be displayed shall be taken to be the one permitted.
• Any such advertisement shall be removed within 14 days after the sale is completed or a tenancy is granted.
• Where the advertisement is displayed on a building, the maximum projection permitted from the face of the building is 1 metre.
• Illumination is not permitted.
• No part of the advertisement may be higher above ground level than 4.6 metres, or 3.6 metres in an area of special control or, in the case of a sale or letting of part only of a building, the lowest level of that part of the building on which display is reasonably practicable.

You will be responsible for complying with these regulations and any others relevant to your particular area put in place by the Local Authority.

If you have an existing agency agreement and the agent has already erected a board, it is up to you to discuss with the agent the removal of his board so that you can erect the Behoused board.
