well first of all, i think the £160 per day is bs, secondly on a personal level, i would not touch those prices with toshes new slx  ;D
I did show my mrs those pics, much to her annoyence coz she was watching the latest harry potter dvd, and she priced them herself at least 30% higher

trippy I used to live 30 minutes from you and I would be a lot higher with my pricing as well where you are, the guy that is selling that is on teeside, and I have no idea what the prices are like there but I am guessing that isn't two bad if not good.

for the mortgage on my house 4 bed, I couldn't get a flat down your way ;)

Stu i have seen rounds for sale on teeside before, infact several, and this round is very lowly priced. The owner of the round has put 3 or 4 pics up of houses and prices, i would imagine they are his best work.
A 3 bed semi around here, would cost about 140k mate, so not expensive really

a fraction underpriced but not too far. it looks like a regular "sloggers round"  /   could be he has wore his body out  in 4 years if doing it alone making 160 per day

i also suspect the pictures are of his best work  ;D bless him, i'd want rid of that work too, he's probaby selling off the underpriced stuff and keeping the cream!

and planning on canvassing correctly priced work now he knows what he's on with after 4 year on the glass ;D

For new work my prices would be close to double what is listed on there.  I have older work where the prices might be only about 40% higher though (haven't increased prices often enough).

Did anyone else pick up what it said in the advert. Its not due to be cleaned again until first week in may. can't be much of a round. And underpriced.

Without all the details i think it's a little unfair to pull this guy apart.

personally i don't think the prices are too bad, light yes, but if hes got a dozen or more in the street - no problem,
also he may no do frames so would be quite quick.

Why be critical and poke holes at some1 who could have been working hard to make his round work - and £160 is teeside is good money i would have thought.

A while ago people got all hot and bothered when posting £100 ph because other said it was bs, yet those people
are more than happy to rip others apart ( and those who cant even defend themselves )

to be fair he is only asking 4k for it so round is proberly around the 1k a month,he would of done that by now in april,he will more likely be keeping the second part of the round and going on to build new work up

How the heck can anyone bid when he hasn't told you what your bidding for? How much per month etc.

I personally think the amount it "takes" per day is highly irrelevant. I know a few window cleaners who do about £100 per day, and also some who make £400, it's all down to speed, technique and attitude.

At the prices the guy has shown as examples here I rekon £160 is average for a "plodder" tho.

If there's at least £1-1.5k per 4w then it's a good start for a newby or a nice project to increase value for the right experienced windy.

The round has been for sale a year, people know on Teesside, how low some prices are, but i thinks it fair for area, its in Acklam, Middlesbrough. Over the road the same type of semis were for sale last year at £2.50 to £2.80 each. As for cleaning 3 semis in an hour  you would need to work hard and do a ten hour day, and thats without collecting. The guy thinks its worth it for the money, and from ebay add, wants a 20% deposit, so for maybe £800 investment you can earn and have a round, if it was wfp,  as the other forum member said earn £200 a day, and compared to most full time jobs on Teesside, you are luck to bring home £200 a week.
