Private investigation and tracing of people and assets

These capabilities are aimed at locating recipients whose address is unknown and identifying assets linked to proceedings.

Working method and proof of service

The firm describes a procedure based on continuous communication with the client: it updates the case status in real time as it progresses. When it attempts to serve a document, it makes up to three visits in total, one of them outside normal hours. On completion of the service it provides official supporting documentation, which may take the form of an affidavit of service, a certificate of service or a statement of service.

As the company itself explains, the statement or affidavit of service constitutes proof before the relevant court that the documents were delivered correctly. The agent details in the report all interactions with the recipient, as well as the time, date and place where service took place. The document is signed as the agent's witness statement or sworn before a local solicitor or a county court as an affidavit of service.

Clients it serves

The agency states that it works with government departments, law firms, private individuals, charities, local authorities, insolvency practitioners and insurance companies.

Indicative fees

The website offers indicative price ranges. Standard services with a three-day turnaround usually range from £120 to £180, while urgent same-day services start at around £200 and can exceed £280 depending on the complexity of the case. The company states that it can offer discounts for volume work, and that it is willing to adapt to different budgets and match competitors' quotes on request.
