audispecialistlondon 1 Posted January 15, 2017 Sounds like I'm the only one not very busy. We're not dead but just not in line with what we normally expect for January. Feels flat, feels like going to be a very average month. January is usually our best of the year. Saying that December was better than usual so it has balanced off i suppose. Still disappointed though as Jan is usually mad busy. Good luck yo you all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't bear not doing a deal on a Saturday!! It's probably the worst part of the job for me, always working on a Saturday. Makes it all worth while when you do a couple of deals though..... I've found Saturday's a lot quieter over the last 12 months, I am a bit tucked away with fairly small stock, but don't seem to get the foot fall I once did on a Saturday. In the past, if we hadn't done a deal by 12/1pm, there would always be a flurry of activity in the afternoon, but not lately. Strangely, Monday's can be quite a good day. Anyone else noticed a similar trend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone else noticed a similar trend? We're on a busy road on the way into the local towns...if you're driving anywhere here you HAVE to pass us! Saturdays are either 3 car days or nothing...sometimes not even a walk on. It's very very strange. Given our location and people working we thought Saturdays would be killer but it's not the case. Midweek we do all our business for some reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Midweek we do all our business for some reason. Interesting, this is why I wonder if there's a shift in buyer behaviour? Or perhaps I'm just reading far too much into it!! Just lately I've thought about closing on Saturday's and making it appointment only (the gate to our estate closes at 1pm anyway). Trouble is, I would never want to stray to far with the family, in case of a lastminute.com, so defeats the whole point of trying to have more quality time with the family.

Saturday / Sunday just another day like any other to bring the money in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
umesh 336 Posted January 16, 2017 Over the years the pattern has changed so much and in most cases for me Saturday are the quietest days , the odd Saturday I've done 3 but that has been exception to the rule, majority of deals all done in the week for me.

Not even a phone call, funny old game! Strange isn't it. We moved from a semi rural site to a main road last year and i'd say we're quieter on weekends now then we were back then!
