Does anyone want some work over the Christmas period?

Hi everyone.

This is purely speculative at the moment, so don't get planning any New Year celebrations ....yet!

I am preparing a quote for properties in Cardiff (28), Portsmouth (25) and Exeter (28), also a number in Birmingham but I shall do those myself. They are converted houses for student lets and the agent has confirmed that they are 'group lettings' and therefore require an EPC. The majority of the properties are 6 - 8 beds with an occassional 9 or 10 thrown in. They will need to be completed around the Christmas period to coincide with the Uni holiday, so we are talking about 5-6 days work for each area.

Is anyone interested, if so what are your expectations in terms of £per EPC (or for each batch)

PLEASE do not use this to start a thread about how downtrodden we are or anything of that nature, PLEASE be realistic about your expectations. I have been doing this since HIPs started and by being realistic I am making a decent living, remember - our clients don't want us or our service, but they have no choice so their expectations are vastly different to ours, however some of them are begining to recognise what the 'Panels' do (or not) and are switching to independants. Having said all that, I do not work for peanuts myself and would not expect anyone else to either.

If you are interested please send an email to hip [dot] powers [at] btinternet [dot] com and include your expected price per EPC or batch, accreditation details, a brief history, ie how long accredited, how many EPC's lodged and VAT number if registered.

IF I am successful I would hope to contact some of you within the next few weeks and take it forward. If nothing comes of it I will still let you know, at least I tried.

Cheers
