all looks ok on the app but if you try and book the flight it says “sold out”. I was sceptical - it turns out it’s “sold out” on that day of the week (only) for the entire summer season. Travel agent friend reckons it means it is likely to either be rescheduled or cancelled completely.
Is this common? when will I get told? If the time doesn’t suit can I get a refund?
Added complication is there is a good alternative option at the moment that I could book and it’s quite cheap, but obviously may not continue to be cheap! Don’t really want to end up with two flights.
Your TA friend is likely correct. Though Ryanair is probably not going to announce it until much closer in, they don't want you to have cheap alternatives to what they will offer you. As long as they announce it 14 days out, all they are on the hook for is a refund or rebooking.
But as long as the change is significant, you will be entitled to a refund.
