at the end off the day theoreticly [ spelt wrong ] once the 20 grand was paid off someone would have a guaranteed income of 1000 pound a week for the rest of there working life , that someone isn't going to be me but bloody hell I wish it was 

Not guaranteed bud.
It's only goodwill.
See your point though.
The tough bit is coming up with the money if you haven't got it.
If you need to borrow to fund it it could be tight for a while.

i may just buy it say no more about it

its all Domestlc work
A large established traditionally cleaned window cleaning round
 no three storey work all nice private work total on the book is £4.400 in total 490 customers 73 of them are bungalows allowing for bi monthly cleans this brings me and my wife £900 plus per week

thats what the round is

that's only £3,900 per month working 52 weeks at less than £9 average a job. Personally I wouldn't touch it as it is all underpriced.

I suppose every job you do his £25 plus won't get out of bed unless your. Earning £350 a day i've heard it all be four Jackanory

Nothing wrong with £3,900 a month, it's just that the seller claimed £4,400.. But besides, the average job is £9 (and regardless of what you believe, my average is more than double that) and two of them work it. It might be in good round in some places, but around here the work is underpriced.

I very rarely earn £350 a day. I normally stop at about £220. 4 hours work is plenty.

so would u buy it
as i been talking to the seller said £300 is on 3 months

Doesn't matter if we would bud.
It's if you would...
All hangs on your cash and how much you need the work.
Do you NEED it or would it be nice to have.
NEED? Decision made innit?
Nice to have-if you've got cash just sitting there, go in low, really low and see what happens.
If the fella is moving, he'll have to sell or he'll lose it anyway.
Better to get something for it.

Me-I'd leave it until the last week or so and offer him £6k.

Taking away the abvious risk factors lets assume its a smooth sale no canceling etc
So lets focus on finacial side only

Lets say its a £9 average but lets also say the £3900 can be cleaned in a hard months work , it would still be worth it as if you have staff and pay them £20k a year you still have a decent profit

2014 would be better! the economy would be even better than 2013, 2014 would be great, except if you live in the north maybe 

[Susan Dean (1stclean)]

If it was worth £4600 a month and the average house clean price was £25 - £35 then I would pay more than £20k (if I had the money).

With an average price of £9 / £10 a clean I wouldn't touch it.

Andy

like what we did and worth every penny now looking for more

[AuRavelling79]

What Andy* said - plus:-

It's a trad. round - is it a dead end? £9 average and doing it trad. = labour intensive. Try to convert to wfp and a new owner, how much you gonna lose? 30%?

Also how many messers? If it's got low priced three monthlies in the mix how untrained are these custies?

3X for trad rounds "rule of thumb" is there for a reason.

Me? No ...

[martin hulstone]

a round is only worth what somebody is prepared to pay, just like a house. I paid 6 times for work at one time as my area is saturated with window cleaners and I needed the work as the missus became pregnant. I trusted the guy, knew the work generated a good hourly rate, so for me it was worth it. I even paid 10 times for some cream commercial work and im still doing it years later with no regrets of the price I paid.
