Hi
Has anyone got any experience putting prices up big £2-5? I haven't put prices up in 5 years which bizzarrely seems standard. Supply costs have gone up in that time and so has cost of living. I'm in annoying position where I I can run biz except affording a reliable van but can't get what I need for family. Eg I need to move to 3 bed house as got 2 kids and house I rent is too small. 3 bed houses cost £200 to £300 more to rent so got that a month to find I can't save if I moved now but if I could save £300 on top a month towards house deposit I could get a house and pay less a month than I do in rent. I'm abit stuck,
I'm putting prices up by rates above. £2 smaller houses £3-4 for new build detached £5 anything bigger Not sure if it will back fire though. I get new work when asked at prices I want and need but getting that rate off existing customers is getting a mixed response so far but not too bad 10% have cancelled. I'm abit worried if my 50 odd detached houses cancelled tho cos then I'd be around £500 a month down.
So has anyone had to do this and succeeded long term any advice would be great.
