Fees

My fees are charged at the rate of £250 per hour.  I charge a minimum fee of £85.  I am registered for VAT and it is chargeable at 20% on my services.

My fees are based principally on the time taken for the whole transaction, including the need to write up a complete record after the transaction is completed.

The time taken includes: making the appointment; travelling or waiting time; meetings with my client and others involved; considering, preparing and working on papers; correspondence including email (and the time needed to make the record).

All letters and telephone calls will be charged on a time spent basis.

I reserve the right to charge clients for any unusual expenses incurred including printing, exceptional photocopying, overseas postage, overseas telephone and fax costs.

My fees may be increased to reflect particular complexity, speed of execution, and the use of special skills.  Fees may also be payable to third parties involved in checking and authenticating information. 

These can include the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, foreign embassies, specialist agents dealing with legalisation of documents, Companies House search fees, translation fees, courier charges and other potential third-party costs.
