Charging
I charge £70 to resolve a single query. If I can’t resolve the query, there is no charge.
I charge £190 to provide a family history in which I trace your ancestry back to c1800 (roughly, your great-great-great grandparents back from all four of your grandparents).
I charge £190 to provide a history of your property.
Copies of birth, marriage and death certificates cost £9 for electronic copies from the General Register Office (where confidentiality rules allow), and I can obtain these for you if wished. I make no other charge for doing so.
If your query or history is complex, I will give you a free report on how much it will cost to fulfil your brief.
If travel is required, I charge 35p per mile. Before starting my car, I e-mail or phone to explain the reason for the journey, its duration, and ask whether or not you wish me to set off. Sometimes, printouts and photocopies from record offices (maps or wills, for example) seem a good idea, but I always ring or e-mail to check before spending around 40p a sheet.
I do not charge any other expenses.
You can pay electronically.
