Hi Guys,
Can you help me out please as i'm trying to buy a round in north west BUT there dosen't seem to be anyone wanting to sell or am i looking in the wrong places??
Any advice please guys ???
-
Browns ladders in Burnley have a notice board where rounds in up to a 30 mile radius get posted
-
there was a round on fleabay 20k! :o
-
Stan thanks very much will check it out...i know moxhams in farnworth also do this
but what surprises me is that so few rounds for sale.....is it that most people want sell to people they know (which i understand as you are passing on your loyal custy & you want them treated well or not some gangster around!!)

must be gold plated ;D
-
never many for sale in the summer starting october to feb theres a lot more as the cold sorts out the men from the boys ;)
-
why not try the buy and sell section and cleaning contracts section, I thought that would be obvious

thanks bfg..done that and on the contract cleanings section there is never any good for sale just seems to be the same person selling newly canvessed rounds which seem a bit dodgy :-X

For what you would pay for a round you could use the money to advertise and leaflet drop and canvass .
Much better when you start with your own customers and prices .

Hi Bob,well Bolton/Manchester areas really

By the time you find one , ..check it out and buy it.... it could take a month or two....
in that time, if you knocked on doors every night and get ten customers per night, (can be done).... in one month you will have 200 clients...weekdays.
you then have a round without the hassle of buying and losing some.

sounds the right thing to do gazza without foking out 5 times or so up front...but will i not just have scattered rounds also upsetting other windy's in the process cause if i go out i need to do areas where no doubt others r on ???
-
No, its the best way to do it, you will be suprised how many people dont have window cleaners.
We are building again just now, and we do two hours per night...two of us, and get ten each time we go out.
without weekends !
Also they come in blocks , so it will only be as scattered as you want it to be.
and when you clean them , more will come your way.
Snowball affect, once its rolling, it will simply get bigger ;)
-
Manchester is huge. ???
-
yes you will upset some but so what you are in business its about time they got used to it. If the other w/c do a good job at a fair price they will not lose many
-
some guys dont wanna travel more than a few miles but ther is loads of work and there isnt more windys than houses, plus loads give up, get lazy retire , upset there custys etc etc
-
tested the water last week but found few estates all long time windy did them,then did one a little away & totally different response the windy there breaks tills etc 1 new custy told me he & his wife watched the windy bang the ladder on back of hse to look like he'd gone up, so never say no body watching!!!!
but i think its going to be hard work trial & error :-\ but will keep you all posted how it goes (may help others who are going to fork out £k for rounds r i may say @ the end of this experience dont do it buy!! starting out to canvass this fri will update for nxt 2 wks ;))

v happy with the sale but hard work to sell even though some of the contracts were written others just verbal but over many years...but i professional help to sell it best move i ever did ;)
cant say how much but you have to settle with what you want for your business

Not really the best info to post on a public forum used by potential sellers. The price of any work may have just gone up. But good luck anyway.
