as we all know when selling or buying a w/c round prices vary massively, I was chatting to a mate from wigan the other day who said it seems the standard price for a round locally is 9 times the clean regardless of the type of work.
what is it in your area ??

[Marc Stock]

There are a lot of window cleaners who seem to undervalue thier business vastly.

I have always gone on the following formula

year turnover /12 * 7.5 or even 8 or 9 so id say he is correct.

iv`e never paid more than TWO AND A HALF TIMES, even for established work, never would. Can`t see why someone would want to work 9 months before earning anything. each to there own i guess

In birmingham I think you would generally have to pay at least 3.5 times the value of the round, although some windies want times 5.  I think it all comes down to how much you need the work in relation to what you would pay for it.

Don't think I've ever heard of ANYONE paying 9 times the value.

4 at absoloute most.

When you take in expenses it would more than likely be a year before you would earn anything from it.
Madness.

You still have the £value of the round bought

[Marc Stock]

Well I have successfully sold work at 7 times the value, and bought work at that price too with no problems.

i guess for those that employ guys to work or sell franchise`s it can be seen as a long term investement. but for the the family guy who works for himself, paying 7-9 times would just take to long to recoup. each to there own and good on ya if you can sell for that though

In my local town their is a shop that supplies ladders, window cleaning gear etc.

They have a board where you can advertise your round for free, work for sale is regularly on at 10x monthly clean and selling.
