Fixed fee philosophy
Transparent fixed fees for immigration work
We work on a fixed fee basis and our average fees for the most commonly used services are shown in our Fee Table below. Should our fee be subject to VAT, this will be payable extra, in addition to our fee.
Please kindly note that fees in the fee table are an estimate set in view of the anticipated average number of hours to be dedicated to your case. After the initial consultation we will provide a fixed fee offer, depending on the nature and complexity of your case.

It is our normal practice to receive 100% of the Fixed Fee upon receiving your instructions. Any money taken in advance of work done will be paid into a separate bank account that we operate as a client account. Once part of the services have been rendered, for example, application form had been drafted and documents collated, 50% of the fee you paid will become due to us, and will be transferred from client account into our business account. The balance will become due to us once the application is submitted / appeal sent etc. (whichever services you instructed us to provide) and the funds will be transferred to the company’s business account.
