OUR FEES

Clear fixed fees, agreed up front

Open and honest pricing for individuals, families and businesses — with a free initial consultation and no hidden extras on our legal fees.

Transparent pricing

Tailor-made advice, at a fixed price

We provide a tailor-made service to meet your specific needs — as no two clients or cases are the same. In most cases we provide a fixed fee quote with no hidden extras, so you know exactly what the costs will be and what you are paying for.

The fixed fee is for our legal services only. It does not include UKVI or other disbursements (Home Office/Visa fee, Immigration Health Surcharge, barrister fees, housing reports, DNA tests, translations, etc.). Our fees do not attract VAT. Quotes do not cover unusual complexities such as adverse immigration histories or previous refusals.
