Another quick question. I'm not from the UK, so not sure what the protocol is. We have lots of jobs that need doing at our home. Is it reasonable to ask tradespeople to come and give quotes for work assuming that we would employ that person if/when we have the work done? My partner thinks it's a waste of the person's time. But if we have no idea how much things cost, I have no idea what we can afford to do or save up for. Does that make sense? I don't want to waste anyone's time, but need some basic numbers to start planning. TIA
