What did they say when you rang them up?

its a very sad and Cheap way to advertise your Business.......urban village homes   should be ashamed.

Assume house isn't for sale. Maybe a mistake by contractors 

[John OShea]

If that incompetent, who’d use them?

[Guest]

the house is definitely Not for Sale...... its just a Cheap way of advertising the company

It's advertising the Harris Primary Summer Fair.  Perhaps a parent with a similar address to yours has asked for one.

The Estate Agents don't put the boards up, they employ a board company to do that, perhaps it's just a mistake.

Why don't you just take it down?

Cover it with paper or plain card

It's almost certainly this. Everybody calm down.

Would anyone, seeing the bulk of the sign, bother to look at the details on the side? (Especially with the white/dark blue colour scheme.)

If I'd seen it on the street I'm sure that my eyes would have glided over it, exactly as they did when I saw the initial post - "Some guy's had an estate agent board put up outside his house in error."

A quick Image Google of "estate agents sponsoring events uk" shows how it can be done
