Tight arse rich people.

Used to do an old ladys property who recently died. Daughter asked me to keep cleaning - she lives in London. The house cleaner must have forgotten to post my slip on so I didn't get paid last time. Daughter phones me and is now quibbling over two cleans now due payment £30. At the end of the conversation she mentions the house has now been sold and Ive been told not to bother cleaning any more. She's just inherited  well over £700,000!

 So the daughter asks you to carry on cleaning the house, then querys money owed, tells you the
 house is sold then drops you, you are better off without this sort anyway. Merry Xmas Dave.

If you can find out solicitor that is handling estate send them your bill the executor will have to pay out of proceeds of sale plus will cost a lot more for solicitor to read and deal with your bill than if she had paid it .

are you for real?for £30?

we ve all had non payment over the years but thankfully its very rare IME.

just think of all the xmas tips you get and over priced jobs you clean.

it balances out over the year
price higher/work harder!

Totally agree.  It's happened to most if not all of us, but we're all still here.

Best way I've found if the property owner doesn’t live in the property is to make sure you have their full name, address, contact number and most importantly their email address. That way any communications like billing (sending an invoice etc) is done via email directly. Same goes for private landlords, management companies etc.

Yeah you will get it if you send a bill to the solicitors,she'll pay it then m8 when he tells her the money will be in the account within 1-2 weeks she'll be so excited she might even give you a tip lol. Some people m8 you can't believe it can you trying to get away with a few quid,they think there gonna live forever the way they squirrel it away.

A few months ago one of my long term (9 years+) customers died... She fell down the stairs :-/

Her son and daughter inherited the house - worth about £550k... They got in contact with me asking for a quote to clean external gutters, fascias & soffits so that it looked nice for the pictures when selling it...

I quoted £145 (4 bed detached, filthy gutters fascias soffits)...

They got back to me to say how shocked they were at how high the price was and that they would leave it.

So they were inheriting £275k each, but didn't want to pay £72.50 each to help to get the house looking nice.

Muppets!

Had elderly customer die this week had just done her windows later that day got a call to say she died was about to say forget about money owed as she was a lovely lady but they want me to carry on cleaning them .
Its the ones that inherit a big house then never pay what's owed by the estate that wind me up .

 Here's Dave, Dave is a window cleaner. Dave pays his taxes and works hard. You've inherited a fortune and you're trying to deny Dave a couple of quid to get on in life.  ;D
