I received an email from a local estate agent asking me to quote for some work for a landlord. I am inside the M25 and unless I am over charging the quote they sent me which they claimed was from another electrician seems rather on the low side and I can't help wondering if they are playing games or it's a genuine quote and I'm over charging:
To Rewire lighting circuits 2 off to include 10 lighting points and switches.
The cost of this would be:-
Materials and Labour ÂŁ775.00 + VAT
The above is copied and pasted from their email, and they are looking for lower quotes.
I emailed back to say there is no point me quoting as my quote would be higher.
If the quote was genuine then people around the London area are either too cheap or I am too expensive (I am curious what other opinions are beacuse I have no plans to change my prices).
From the other bits in the email I assume this is as a result of a condition report, and I appreciate that I haven't seen the property, but I guess it's not empty and even if it was I still wouldn't do it for that quote or lower?
