Hi,

I hope someone can help me with pricing a small round that has been offered to me.

The guy selling is doing work on a part time basis, makes about £2 500 per year all domestic work.

What is a reasonable rate? e.g. £200 per month on the round means a reasonable offer would be what?

I know I could wait for him to retire - Christmas - and then simply canvass the area but that would not be fair.

The round is in Nottingham by the way and is already on my patch.

John,

£2500 per year is around £200 per month.  The going rate usually varies around one to three times the monthly income. 

So anything from £200 to £600 would sound about right.

What is the guy asking for it?

For that little work i would save your money and go and get your own.
Could easily get that sort of work in a couple of days.

you can see what rounds are going for. Remember asking price not the same as selling price

As always impressed with the quality and quantity of advice.

Tosh- the guy is asking for 2k I agree with you and wil be breaking the news to him later.

Paul - thank you for the comments.

Brett - Not Nottingham City but in the county, traditional, as am I but going WFP next week.

And finally - Davidsabishop - great site.  Looked at the numbers and can see that asking price is average of 29% X turnover, the lowest is / was 16% so putting "your" site and the comment made by Tosh together suggests that when all the shouting is done a price of about 25% X turnover might be about right.

John.

Hi. Is this the same guy who approached me recently ? Has he got about 34 flats and a few houses he's trying to sell ?
