Wish I had done that! In the past I've just taken it down myself after a week if it hasn't been removed and binned it.


From memory most agents seem to take them back themselves.

I contacted Pickwick Estates many times to remove my sign, and they completely ignored me. I was not surprised, as their general attitude throughout the sale process could not have been worse..


In the end, I simply put it through the rubbish / recycling. Such a waste!


I agree with James Barber's comments above - get rid of it ASAP as it increases your risk of being robbed!

Why? Wouldn't you have less stuff to pinch?

Hi Dopamine1979,

When you move in neighbours don't know you so don't keep an eye out for you and your stuff. You're not as aware of an area and you don't have drilled habits of locking doors and windows.


Best things people do when moving in is invite neighbours round for a pleasant drink. The quicker you know your neighbours the safer usually you'll be.

Sometimes you'll find somewhere on the board small print advertising for the sign company which produces the board and erects the sign. Xpress Signs are the most local to East Dulwich and provide the service to most agents locally. Ring them direct, they'll put it on their job run, providing they work for that particular agent, and get paid to remove them with or without the agents permission!

Can the articulate customer discourage a house agent from installing those non-biodegradable signboards at all?


Waste's reached unacceptable levels. Sheets of bilious looking advertising plastic lurk behind every wall, garage and front garden shrub.


The wooden posts are a recyclable item. Uses limited only to our imagination.

Well done NessD! The house next to ours has had their 'Let By...' sign up for about 6 months now and I find it really irritating! Might follow you lead!

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
