Fees AND COSTS

 

My current fees and charging structure is outlined below:

 

Initial Deposit: 

An initial deposit of £30 Sterling is payable in advance of my commencing work on your project. This enables me to commence initial work on your research (equivalent of 2 hours research fee). Please note that the deposit is payable at the start of your commission before I commence work for you and is non-refundable.

 

Research Fee:

All research will be charged at an hourly rate which is currently £15 Sterling per hour. Please note that this research fee does not include additional costs such as certificate orders, photocopying, etc. (see below). This research fee is subject to review and may change in the future - however, all commissions will be charged at the research fee in force when the work starts.

 

Certificate Fee:

I can order birth/marriage/death certificates from two sources and I will choose the most appropriate and cost effective method for you:

 

General Register Office : currently £9.25 Sterling per certificate inclusive of Royal Mail 2nd Class postage. Used when exact details of events are known as they no longer offer the reference checking service. Takes up to 14 days to be processed.

 

Local Register Office: currently £10 Sterling per certificate plus £1 postage. Some local register offices add an admin fee of £1 to the certificate and postage fee. Used when some details are known as they are often more helpful and for common names, and most offer a quicker service than the GRO.

 

Additional Costs:

As part of my research for you, I may incur additional costs in addition to my research fee. These are charged at face value and will appear as appropriate on any invoices to you. These may include (but are not limited to):

Payment Options:

An invoice for the research fees (minus your original deposit) and including any additional costs will be sent to you on completion of your commission. Should you require an interim invoice and/or a statement of account, please contact me to arrange this. If you would like to agree a maximum "limit of spend" please let me know at the start of your commission.

 

Payment is due on all invoices within 10 working days from the date of the invoice.

 

The following methods of payment are accepted:

 

Personal Cheque in UK Sterling: please make payable to 'Denise Janes' and send to my contact address.

Online via PayPal: please send your payment by debit or credit card via your local PayPal website to my e-mail address: denise@fowley.co.uk. There may be currency conversion charges applicable on PayPal if you converting your payment to Sterling from your own currency, and you will need to add these charges to your payment, please.
