Sale agreed nonsense

    How can a property be "sale agreed" with a sign on it, for a period of about 3 years?

    Anyone see this before, or guess what is possible the reason behind it?

    I know that one of the 2 owners is currently in Shelton Abbey.

    The sign is inaccurate / outdated most likely. Sale Agreed is not some actual legal status, just an indication that a house is likely off the marker

    Open prison near Arklow

    It's possible that a sale fully fell through and nobody has bothered to take down the sign

    My landlord has a sign up with Sale Agreed outside our place, he tells us he has no intention of selling and that he was only going through the motions to please his bank.

    The estate agent usually arranges to have the for sale sign put up, they're not going to take it down though... The property could have been bought and the new owner has no interest in removing it...

    In the London property companies were putting for sale and sale agreed signs on any vacant building and even outside groups of flats (where it would take the owners a while to realise which if any flat was for sale),
    It was cheap advertising, especially in a desirable area, people go on the website because they see lots of signs..
