This is an excellent video comparing changes over time using ratios, rather than nominal figures. This guy know's what he's talking about. One key factor that not many people have addressed is affordability. House prices in real terms (after inflation) are the same today 2024 as they were in 2013. However, the problem is wages have not kept up with inflation, this means affordability is stretched not due to soaring house prices (as quoted by the main stream media because they always talk about house prices in nominal terms not real terms), the problem is real wages have not kept up, thus the affordability issues. We need wage growth in the UK.

In the video you asked what we would do with a house that doesnt earn profit... ID F*CKIN LIVE IN IT. i have nothing against land lords but the way i and many renters see things is we are paying your mortgage and after 25-30 years or what ever the mortgage length is you will own that house that is fully payed off and your retirement plan can be ither sell it or continue to rent it. renters on the other hand after 25-30 years will have nothing. im sure most renters like me would prefer to pay £800 to a 25 year mortgage and own a house worth £150k than pay rent. I have nothing against landlords that own 1-2 extra houses to rent out thats fine but when landlords have 10+ houses and keep buying the cheaper houses to "flip" so they can rent them out for more money and are pricing people that want a house to own and live in thats when i have a problem with land lords there just isnt enough supply

What about the extremely low birthrate or fertility rate in this country. Maybe monopolising housing for the old is sacrificing the countries future as young people cannot afford housing. UK fertility rate is 1.56 (2021), so without immigration you’d soon have a country full of old people and an economy that stagnates, then slowly crashes.. wait that’s familiar?

No it's worse for landlords but even worse for renters. Wage stagnation means that whilst landlords are still making money. Renters however are screwed. In part because landlords have been buying up of all the houses and forcing people into renting. Couple the scarcity/ house prices forcing them into renting, wage stagnation and rents rising faster than inflation and you can see as a proportion of income renters have less and less money to save to jump on the property ladder. Its almost if its by design.

He's using current interest rates and ignoring landlord get the asset paid for by someone else.

I never heard a YTer claim rents in UK or USA are low. Low maybe if you a banker. Or maybe low compared to sale price. Which no one can afford either.

It’s just a thought, but landlords have two ways to earn money from properties, yes rent being paid is one, but capital appreciation also needs to be considered, as house prices also go up.

Setup a services company and franchise it

The problem is obvious - fiat currency has inflation built in by design. The level of that inflation is a policy choice, and that choice is made by central banks/government. It didn’t have to be this way…

I would love to see the same graphs for take home pay, and 'occupation' of property - i.e. how much has just been bought by overseas people and is held empty (anecdotally, the block of flats I live in in London is barely 50% occupied), or simply "Air BnB'd". In terms of solutions, well they need to be driven by this information - find out where the problem actually lies before making too many knee jerk reactions. But one thing I would consider is making it much simpler to convert commercial property into residential property - not be too afraid to tear up zoning restrictions in this regard, and bring people back into city centres.

I work in London and I charge £90 each for flush and tilt mount so £180 for 2. If full motion, anywhere between £120 to £200 each depending on if the wall need to be reinforced.

Thanks. ❤

Just stumbled onto this video. We do property maintenance and wouldn’t entertain that job for anything less than £75. The time it takes to drive there, to do the job and what not. £50 is low. How any business is surviving charging that is beyond me. We charge £60 for the 1st hour and then £45 an hour thereafter.

£180 per day I charge as a handyman in the South West.

No detailed discussion of fees for anyone except the one you are trying to get referral money

Hello. I saw your youtube channel. Your video is much less. And I see that your video is not SEO relatively optimized. Video views will not increase for this. And I have seen many problems with your channel that will solve your KZbin channel ranking.

PEPE on Solana in the next big think . check it out

50 £ for 2 tv mounts is cheap . I would charge 100 £ for 2 in london

Under pricing yourself and being the cheap guy isn't the way forward. You'll always be known as the cheap guy rather than the guy that provides a quality assured finish. I would want to be paid for the skill set I offer rather than to be paid for being cheap. If the customer doesn't like the price, you will always find another job to do and they can find themselves another trader who is happy to be called the cheap guy lol

Totally think you are undercutting yourself at even £50. I'd be charging at least £35 to £40 each TV and bracket. No way would I be travelling that far for £11+ an hour.

Hello and good afternoon. I hope that you are well. I reached out on KZbin asking about a side hustle. I would be super grateful for some help as I am really struggling with living costs in England Uk. Please don't lie though, as a lot of people have been wasting my time to add me on WhatsApp, and they tell me to deposit money. I am a genuine guy who is just struggling with living costs and would be very grateful for some help. Thank You

Maneki gonna make millionaires

I paid a fella £75 7 years ago to fit a coaxial cable from the TV to the wall socket😅 The next day he came back to fit the wall bracket and he charged me another 75.

I like your prediction i just hope they become TRUE!

Very Funny 🤣🤣🤣

I'm professional handyman in Birmingham, running my business for 3+ years. I was as cheap during my first year, when I still was employed as a maintenance manager in the hotel. It was a covid time, furloughs etc. Basically I had a very smooth transition, ideal i'd say. And yes, cheap rates in beginning, was touching the grounds, understanding what it is to run a business - customer service, taxes, insurances, advertising, web presence, van stocks etc. Now my minimum call out is £100, it includes up to 2 hours of labour. During these 3 years I have invested shit loads of money into my tools for bigger projects - mitre saws, table saws, compressors, compactor plates, nail guns etc; I always have in the van stuff like all kinds of screws, all sorts of fixings, nails, bolts, metal washers, plumbing washers, tap glands, isolators, sockets, switches, hinges, cables, drain rods, ladders, mixers. You name it. And I have absolutely clear idea where everything is, you wake me up 3am i'll find it in a minute, because every week max two I take all the shit out from the van and reset it - clean up, vacuum, blow, sharpen, put everything back in order. So that I can be EFFICIENT in these 2 hours. I consider myself as a professional handyman as I'm pretty much ready for any case scenario. Yes it may be steep. But let's be honest - what is 100 quid now ? to go restaurant with your missus? Weekly shopping ? Just about full tank for a van? Call out a handyman to hang a TV and couple of floating shelves ? hm. If you are running a small business as Handyman, then you are the one who is dealing with keeping up all your admin stuff up to date - insurances/MOTs/accounts/advert analytics/social media presence/work scheduling/van stock, you are the one who's taking the phone calls, processing the enquiries, making quotes, generating invoices and being stressed about what if there will be no job tomorrow. Hm, by the way man, there's no one to pay your holidays and sick pays. So your rates gotta include some part that you should save for time off unless you want to burn out in a year/two. Also, you are the one who is gonna be carrying out the actual work. And also don't forget about your family, you probably have a wife and kids and maybe parents, who would love to see you also. My business running costs are about 10k/year. Honestly, for all this hustle that is included by running your own business - I don't even want to think about having less than 50k/year. Why?! If with all these experience, knowledge and set of tools I can get myself a job in pretty much same field - ie kitchen fitter for 35k/year. Without any of this admin, customer service, and other hustle also you can complain about your working conditions if you feel you're being mistreated, if you are self employed and you are mistreated normally you just eat it. Work monday-friday, 8 to 4 f*ck off - clear head. working weekends or overtime - higher rate. bingo. When someone says he doesn't mind to exchange 2 hours of his life for 40 quids... lets even calculate you are a robot and everything goes smooth, no holidays, no time off due to sickness, just weekends to relax. 2 hrs, you can potentially do 4x jobs a day that's £160/day. 5 days a week, 52 weeks. £160*5*52=£41600 that's your IDEAL outcome. However it will NEVER happen as practice shows. realistically your billable time will be good IF 60%, even let's say you are a genius and somehow managed to bring this figure to 80%, you'll have £33280, pay about 4 grands taxes out of it, 1k accounts, 1.5k adverts, 1,5k van fuel, 1,5k tools and consumables, about 700 for MOT and services. 33280-4000-1000-1500-1500-1500-700 and you are left with 23k. You'll get less if you'll plan to go holidays. with this setup - forget about getting a new van anytime soon. actually never. Idk what kind of education you can afford your kids with such income man. So my question now. Why someone is supposed to have a headache of running a business If he's literally doing pretty much bare minimum wage ? It's just doesn't make any sense. Seriously. I want to shout out - WTF!?

A pound used to mean the value of a pound of silver? That’s mad

The pay gap between England and America is enormous over most jobs. England is, at best an emerging economy.

It's easy to say Handymen in the UK are undercharging, however, wages in the UK are a lot lower too so therefore your 'customer' has less income to pay you with!

workers comp, leaves a business owner with a bad taste in his mouth

I used a few of those useless tradesmen listing sites, advertising maybe a days work doing a few simple jobs that I can’t do myself in my wheelchair. I contacted some trades blokes & got one response, who made an appointment to come & have a look. then never showed up, the cheeky git rang me with excuses & to reappoint. never saw or heard from him again. all local guys seem to be uninterested total losers who can’t be bothered with a bit of easy day work.

Here in the US we have a wide choice of folks to do our work for us. We get bids. We check out the individual or business. We negotiate. All before any work is done. I don't know about the UK situation.

Ok, I'm not a 'handy man' as such. I am a website creator. I am based in the UK and have many clients both in the UK and US. One thing I have found is that US clients put a higher value on my work than UK ones do. By quite a big margin.
