Hourly Rate

On more complex and specialist matters we usually charge on an hourly rate which varies depending on how senior the person is who is carrying out the work.

We will be open and clear about our costs and will ensure that they are kept to a minimum. We will do this by:

Giving you regular costs advice in advance of incurring costs
Agreeing payment plans with you
Invoicing on a monthly basis so that you can budget
Offering a facility for payment by credit or debit card

How you can help keep your costs down

We charge for the work we do according to the length of time we spend on your matter including telephone calls, emails, preparing documents and writing letters. Frequent, lengthy and unnecessary telephone calls or meetings with your solicitor will result in further costs to you. Therefore keep your calls to a minimum.

The clearer your instructions are, the quicker we can prepare your applications and statements and the less we will charge you. So, before you make a telephone call or come for a consultation, make a list of everything you need to let us know.
