How many properties are there. What are the durations of the contracts with the customers & what is the residual income.

Domestic/Commercial/Industrial all need to be under contract, goodwill not worth anything in this day and age. There would be nothing to stop another cleaner under cutting but realistically at the price you are charging for 3 storey work would not be interested. Now if they were all at £25 each on a 12 month contract would be prepared to pay around the 1K mark.

i know this is not my place but are u even a window cleaner?

Rounds sell everyday without contracts i have bought many and had no problems if you wanted the work then you would view and make your own mind up but asking about contracts is absurd

good look buying any kind of residential round

I dont go along with the contracts scenario, just my opinion.

You are buying the goodwill, and also if you go collecting with current window cleaner, you will see them being paid and the seller can just say to the customer they are thinking of selling and could they confirm the frequency and also the cost, trust me thats worth more than anything.

There is alot of rubbish work out there for sale, but that is upto the individual to use common sense before parting with any money.

I have over £200k of work which is regular work, as i dont do one offs, and none of it is on contract.

If i was selling i would show the work being cleaned, show my books or computor accounts, introduce to customer, that would be good enough for me if i was the one buying the work.

The only problem i ever had buying was a round i purchased in sale, manchester about 20 years ago, but that was because i was too trusting and hadnt got the time to walk round the work with the seller.

I learnt my mistake from that day, and so did he when we next met  ;)

you dont get residential contracts.      never heard of it.   they want them cleaning or not,  if your good enough they will keep you , if your crap  they will chase you. ::) ::)

i find it better for the regular cleaner to tell the customer he is taking time out    and you will be cleaning them  from now on,   after a couple of cleans let them know he has quit window cleaning, they will be used to you by then,  otherwise if they dont like the look of you they may get some one else.
