Hi just like to know thoughts / experiences with buying a round can you expect a drop off from customers etc ...Should you be introduced to new customers and should a contract be drawn up between buyer and seller

Buyer beware.
I'll say no more.

I have never bought any work but from what I have read on here I would deffo want to be introduced to the custys!

I'd second that.
I sold some London work to guy. He had bought a round the year before sight unseen! There were streets on the list which he got after parting with his cash, that did not even exist!
I met him on the street where the worklist started, he paid the money and I took him round in my van and introduced him as a friend who would be doing the work from now on. I put a letter thru the houses that were out, I would expect no less than that.
Even on well established work some will still fall off, but if you look after it you'll keep most of a well established round.
Ask questions like, why are you selling? When was it last done? Are you regular?

None to sell I'm afraid, I live by the Kent coast so the travel was a pig, that's why I sold it all.
The furthest I go now is about 20 miles.

That's a trek and a half.

Why not??? I have bought some cracking compact work over the years that leafleting and canvassing can't compare to.

I am sure that's true, but canvassing does it for me.
