By any standards today has topped all days for enquiries.
5 calls that I picked up not one converted into a job.
Yes there's a recession but why do the public think that
everything has become dirt cheep.
The classic today was from someone moving out of rented this week. Located 8 miles away in the middle of nowhere, the sort of journey that you would be lucky to do 30mph and if anything on the road bigger than a mini came towards you, you'd end up stopping in the hedge.
Anyway she knew the room sizes
which was basically 3 rooms each of 20 sq/m. With further questions she forgot about the stairs
then added I need the windows in and out done too.
Went through the speal about giving her the letter for the letting agent so that we would deal with any issues (piece of mind and all that) and then dropped in the price £152 plus vat.
5 seconds of quiet broke out and then "Oh the people who do my mothers place said they would do it for £90"
So why did she ring me when someone has quoted so low
Another wanted so little doing that it fell into our min charge catogry. She asked how much more to 'protect it' so I said I'll do that within that price. "Oh thanks I'll call you back in 10 minutes" Never did
And another 3 similar. I don't think the public are aware that they will be the cause of so many businesses going bust if they carry on like this.
Seriously thinking of buying another holiday rental caravan at this rate. 4 enquiries over the weekend....all converted with £2k+ in the bank.
