I have noticed over the past couple of months more and more customers missing out the windows every other month or "forgetting" to leave the gate open or leave money out.

I have been working the same estate for 8 years now and have never had a real problem. But lately I have been getting some customers causing problems who, in the past, have always been great.

I'm wondering if it might have something to do with the interest rate rises as it is a big development very near to North Circular, A train Station, a tube station and three main bus routes, so prices are high for these houses. 

It isn't causing a big problem because I have a bit of extra work just in case this sort of thing happens.

Has anyone else noticed a similar trend?

I have had four customers asking to reduce the frequency in recent weeks.  I would rather risk losing them and replacing with people who want them cleaned each time.  I currently give a 6 weekly service.  I'm only prepared to go to 12 weekly for much larger and better priced jobs.
