1 Bed flat = £69                                 

2 Bed flat = £87                                 

3 Bed flat = £98                                 

1 Bed house = £83                             

2 Bed house = £98                             

3 Bed house = £109   

4 Bed house = £131

is 'reasonable' another way of saying cheap?

Rog if you look at the 2nd link you'll find he does, seen worse prices than that on the web I think it's sold quite well lot of area to cover for those prices unless they have agents doesn't look like a big multi van company to me.

Hi Guys

Shaun, it also covers my area so there is no way it's a one man set up.

Using Google adwords to target all over, your post must have cost them a small fortune ;)

Cheers

40% of those prices plus adword costs doesn't sound worth while to me.

It was more idle curiousity I don't have a problem with it/him just Sunday evening surfing, don't think I'd like 40% of the price of those 3pc suite prices though but for a new starter could be worth a punt.

Interesting the way he implies there is no VAT. Given what looks like the size of his operation those prices will have to include VAT as well. I wonder how the 40% split takes that into consideration?


Mike

I was looking more at his individual prices rather than whole accommodation prices. Not expensive but on the face of it not exactly cheap/bait and switch type prices.

ah i get ya Steve.

I wonder how these kinda operations work, as in upsells OR the cleaner giving the cutsomer their business card so that the client goes directly to him next time they need a clean... How do you combat that?

Has anyone here (i'm sure there's a few) employeed lads to go out and clean carpets on thier own??

Its an idea I have been wanting to do for years but always feared in case they decide to set up on thier own, taking a % of my  busines with him.. after I have tought him the trade secrets!  :(
Different if its commercial work you get them to do i guess.
