The fees in respect of our work are sometimes based upon standard scales at very competitive rates, when the type and scope of work is not only routine, but can be confidently assessed in advance. Where it is not possible to assess in advance the amount of work which may be involved (for example for negotiation or research assignments, construction advice, ongoing maintenance, etc), fees are based upon an hourly rate agreed with clients in advance. Clients can impose time and cost limits to establish a point at which further instructions must be verified before proceeding.

In every case, fee arrangements are agreed in advance, together with each clients’ special instructions. Please do not hesitate to contact us on the question of fees: the question of cost is a topic which all potential clients will want to consider at the outset. We aim to give excellent value in every case.
