Our costs and terms of acting
Many professional firms choose not to provide details of their costs on their websites However, we wish to provide our clients with clarity and to be transparent as to the firm’s costs and charges.
We publish cost guidance for elements of work that are usually product-based or known in terms of usual time to complete. Please see below for details. If there is an element of work you wish us to undertake that is not covered in our costs guidance, please get in touch and ask for the details. Please note that costs are always subject to change depending on circumstances of complexity or where additional time is incurred that was not initially reasonably able to be foreseen.
Due to the difficulties many people have experienced economically following the unprecented period of Covid/lockdowns we have chosen to freeze our fixed cost prices at our 2019 levels. This is envisaged to continue for the next 12 months.
As a basic summary, we charge fixed fees where-ever it is suitable or requested by our clients. Fixed Fees are usually based according to an estimate of time to be spent by our team based on standard hourly charging rates (Robert’s being £250+vat per hour as the usual rate).
For a new Will, Lasting Power of Attorney, Probate/Estate Administration matter, Robert offers a first consultation at his cost so that he can first take some details, appraise what is required to be undertaken and for you (our clients) to assess how best to thereafter proceed.
