Propeller TBO

The aircraft:- EASA registered light singles.

I have seen many aircraft advertised for sale which appear to be running beyond the TBO, usually calendar life on under ustilised machines.
How is this possible? The aircraft are airworthy (apparently) as in have current C of A and recent Airworthiness Reviews. What and who gives the exemption.

All the aircraft I am invloved with are tied to the manufacturers tbo normally 6 years if specified and between 1000 & 2400 hours.

In the UK we run our engines 20% longer than tbo using GR24 is there something for props that may be costing me and others money?
