pricing prestige homes

[tonyjohn]

Evening all, would like to gather other sparks views on pricing large Victorian town houses in sort after areas in London worth 6m plus, I usually charge 200-250 per day in Kent for your average house adding a few days in case of problems or changes etc, I've been given the opportunity to price these prestige homes for very wealthy clients, I was thinking my usual 20% mark up on materials but unsure on my day rate charges, how high can I go without taking the **** to much?

i hate it when i get quotes in and they add up alot more because i have a posh house! as though if you have a decent house you can just throw money away!
i throw them a shilling then ask the butler to throw them in the street!

Why would there be a difference? you are obviously happy with £200-£250 a day so why would this change? you could add a fuel allowance if you price the job but I don't see any reason to have a different price for well off people. This is why they think they are being ripped off all the time.

I'd cut my price to £12 per hour, do them a favour as they must pay a fortune in bills, imagine the council tax!!!

Setting your bills dependent on the customer - Niccceeeeeee.... I wonder what you do when its a frail little old lady? Dick....
