The Cost

Research fees are £15 per hour. Overseas clients can either pay by Banker’s Draft in £Sterling or with a bank cheque in local currency. Please be aware that foreign currency cheques will incur a bank fee, which is automatically deducted from the total realised. Payments should be made to LIZ CARTER.

A deposit of £50 is normally requested in advance. Most clients decide how much they wish to spend and then budget the payments, topping up their research account from time to time as required.

An itemised statement is sent regularly to keep the client up-to-date with finances and the researches can be individually tailored to suit each client's resources. Many of my clients work on a monthly/quarterly payment basis.
