It's a new build estate

Simple - The people who live there have no real money (as in actual cash)... Everything they have is on credit and they've over stretched to buy the house?

yup 100% accurate

how big is the estate? if its big big then if i was you id now canvass it ruthlessly ,whatever it takes dont give up on it .  i agree many will be up to their eyes in debt but not every single soul ,  in between will be good earners its jus a case of finding them. you want the homes with cars year 08 Audi or newer, if its an Preg Galaxy on slicks in the drive  just hurry on by

i did a bit of canvassing a few months ago on a  massive new build estate when i was leafleting for my girlfriends shop.

absolute waste of time!i was pricing 4 bed houses with 2 three storey windows front and back at £25 on an 8 weekly frequency which i thought was a fair price.no chance they thought i was ripping them off!

one guy said you can clean them if you can beat £8 which he said he d been quoted by another window cleaner. ::)rolli nearly told him to f*** off!

there was a few trad lads on there already charging peanuts cleaning glass only.

I agree with a lot of what's been said already.
There's one estate not far from me which has probably been there for 5 years or so now.
Many of the properties upvc has never been cleaned and a fair few have green window frames and sills.
A result of the type of people who live there.......

I work for a builder on a new estate and earn stacks of cash.
I have canvassed the estate and now have 1 days work on there.
I first canvassed and picked a few young familys who just cant afford it but now have a good set of customers.
There is another windy who canvases vigorously as soon as the removal vans are there hes quoting them.
In the end they come to me at 2 or 3 quid dearer because they like there windows cleaned as the other bloke doesnt touch the plastics and aswell as missing windows he doesnt rinse.
 I also find a lot of young couples get upto the eyeballs on these new houses and struggle as they have never had bills to pay before.they are very small overpriced houses that are never worth the money they pay for them.
