There are no specific set costs involved with private investigations; there are such a wide variety of cases and requirements, it would be impossible to give a set quote without understanding more about your situation. We have given approximate costs for private investigator services on this page to help you to gauge the typical prices to be expected.
At UK Private Investigators, we offer a huge range of detective services, from background checks and fraud investigations through to vehicle tracking and covert surveillance. Of course, the costs involved for the different types of investigation will vary depending on the type of service as well as the location and other details of the case.
Depending on the type and level of service you require, the amount of money a private investigator costs can vary substantially. Different agencies have different rates, and each case is unique, bringing different challenges to the table. We quote in a highly transparent way, and we give examples of the typical costs for different services on this page.
The best way to book a private investigator is to use a reputable agency such as UK Private Investigators. We will agree on the fees for the service you require in advance, and you will receive a fully costed invoice for our services. We always work hard to stick within your set budget and keep our prices as competitive and affordable as possible.
Many people assume that private investigator costs are like an 'off-the-shelf' product. No investigation is the same and may require additional services, time and approach to determine a proven outcome. This is why most investigators can't charge a flat fee for private investigation services.
The role of a private investigator or commonly known as either a private detective or inquiry agent, is an individual who is hired by another, be it a group, business or another individual to undertake investigative law services. Most of the time our work is directly involved with individuals who are seeking an answer on cheating partners, tracing a missing person and many other scenarios. When we receive your inquiry, a member of our investigation team will be in contact with you to go through the finer elements of what you require, alongside the specific events that we may need to know, depending on your case. Our service is completely confidential and we provide communicative methods that only you are comfortable with.
