Hi All,
I've been looking at buying some work to get me started in the WC game and I'm considering the advert I came across below.I know some of you you pro's frown upon this route, but the flyers, door knocking etc is not going to generate enough readies in the short term to pay for the roof/food in my gut anytime some.

Region: South East England
Location: Brighton
Type: Domestic
Monthly Avg Value : £1,530
Established For: 8 years
Comments: My Brighton round for sale. Above is the round overall value. Cleans are mostly 5 weekly but some are every 8. Traditional and WFP work. Mostly residential. Pay via pre-adressed envelope; if not, home on day of clean. Compact,lucrative, close to sea front. Berlingo van with smart k-system 500l,2 man WFP also available, subject to negotiation,if interested.
Asking Price : £6,000
I then emailed the guy the following message:
I see you have a WC round for sale in the Brighton area.Could you tell me why your selling the round and what % is trad/wfp and to what heights your working to?
Would you introduce new cleaner to all the clients and could you work the 1st month or part of it.
The reply I received is as follows:
I've a very large round in Horsham area and the Brighton round is compromising things there.Its probably 95% wfp but only to 1st floor, 2/3 windows to second floor on whole round.I've not the time to do the round, but I can introduce you or issue an introduction letter introducing whoever takes over the round.
So what do you think, is it a SCAM!!!
Sorry for the length of this. but would like feedback, especially from guys' that have bought work before./emoticons/wacko.png
