Depends on the quality of the work, and how long you are prepared to wait for the right offer.
Better to be specific with the details, and have all the names and numbers of customers.
The best source for selling work I have found in the past is window cleaning rounds for sale dot com.
If I were to sell any work now, I would be asking 10 x cleans.
What area is the work ?

Coventry and Northampton,

Northampton, takes about £2,500  big houses thou

In my opinion even at ten cleans it is still a good investment, a few lads I know who employ would give you that all day, but you are hundreds of miles away  ;D

If your renting them out at that much rent why you selling up it doesn't make sense I wish I could  rent my round out and bring that amount off money in a month ?

Sorry but I cannot quite understand what you mean.

Are you saying the rounds between them earn you £7 800 a month? Or do you get £7 800 a month from renting them out or do you mean you want to sell them for £7 800?

You were still looking to buy rounds until a week or so ago.....

Somebody is renting a £5.5k round and paying 4k for the privilege? Either you are telling porkies a the person renting is not very bright. Assume they use their own equipment? Otherwise it's employment I'd have thought.

You make £66000 a year renting your rounds out? y sell for £75000??? 
Surely you could run your business if you rent your rounds out from wherever you are living and make 1 trip up a week/month to make sure everything's ok?
Over 5 years renting before tax £330,000
Sell as a one off for £75,000 if your lucky to find someone with that amount of cash, over 5 years you'll have about £255,000 less in your pocket

Not sure Robert has been that clear with his explanation......... either that or the person paying 4k a month for a 5.5k a month round needs a labatomy.....

Post by: CleanClear on August 09, 2015, 05:58:53 pm

I havn't got the answer either. He does say (the OP) something about van and tools for it. I'd assume he provides the van and tools for his current rental set up at them rates.
Whats his round worth if he's moving out the area and someone else is still cleaning it ? Probably not much i'd say. I wouldn;t want to pay much for that and anything go wrong, he'll be in Cornwall and probably the current cleaners will...well you get the idea.........

I think for someone who wanted an answer to what seemed to be a serious question, what ever it was as it was all muddled and unintelligible, the OP isn't obviously that bothered because he hasn't been back on here with any comments or replies.

Maybe he thinks we are all his bitches just waiting to help him?

Selling good will which all is selling a round is you will simply get offered what ppl are willing to pay which will depend on a number of factors.

I've never brought a round myself but I know of plenty that have been stung as customers decide who does the work not window cleaners.

Mate, you should have admitted that straight off. It's not a crime and not something to be ashamed off and it would have made things better for you, re the replies and the comments made on here which also I own up to making.

I also don't think spelling is the problem, it's maybe explaining what you mean and just because you can't do that for what ever reason, perhaps next time say that. It will help and generally people are understanding and take that into account provided they know.

Robert Hawes is doing okay.

He's got rounds adding up to far more than I have. He works on a building site and he goes carp fishing.  And he lives in Cornwall. And he wants money for a mortgage.

He needs wise advice not being laughed at. So I suggest he gets his advice from someone who has sold a round and can help him. My first question is how much rental does he bring in and how much time does he spend looking after those rounds.

Mind you Robert, you appear to work very hard. What do you do at night? Hang up a big lamp on the coast and wait for the next big boat to come in?

These days if it was 90% trad you'd be lucky to sell it,I wouldn't want to buy it if it had that many customers expecting trad or having to change them over.  It would be a nightmare changing that lot over I've done it and it's not done in a year or so,on certain work you'd lose loads most have th wants a traditional cleaner I would expect hence 90% trad

I'd be careful, you might struggle with £7800 a month, remember it's a trad round too. ;D
