Typical ranges
Where our fees usually land
These are ranges, not prices. Your actual fee is fixed once we know what the work involves, and it does not change afterwards.
How we work
Three things worth knowing before you get in touch
None of this is unusual but it is better said upfront.
01
No free consultation
We do not run introductory calls. You send us the details by email or through the client portal, we review them properly, and we come back with a fixed quote.
02
Fees are payable upfront
Once you accept the quote we raise an invoice, and work begins when it is paid. No hourly billing and no chasing at the end.
03
Records need to be usable
We work from summaries in excel or clean PDF statements. We are not able to work through hundreds of individual receipts or photographs. If your records need pulling together first, use a bookkeeper.
How our fees work
Everything on this page is a rough guide. It exists so you can see roughly what you are looking at before you get in touch.
Your actual fee is fixed once we understand the work usually after a short email exchange or the quote form.
If the scope genuinely changes, because something comes to light that was not in front of us at the start, we will agree a new figure with you before going any further. You will never open an invoice you were not expecting.
We do not bill by the hour. The quote is the number, and it is agreed before anything starts.
VAT
The ranges on this page are shown before VAT.
UK VAT is charged at the standard rate where you are UK resident.
Where you are non-resident, VAT does not generally apply to our fees.
Your quote will always state clearly whether VAT is being added.
Why not just publish a fixed price?
Because the same service can be an afternoon or a fortnight. A residency assessment for someone with a clean day count is not the same job as one for someone who has been moving between four countries for six years. Quoting a single number would mean either overcharging the simple cases or underquoting the complex ones and revisiting it later — which is exactly what we are trying to avoid.
When do I get an actual figure?
What if the work turns out to be bigger than it looked?
Can I book a call to discuss it first?
Is VAT included in these ranges?
Are payment plans available?
