Research
When you commission us to undertake research, you will receive
where applicable:
- bound
report and relevant research material
- advice
on any further research required
- invoice
Where
possible, work will be completed within 6 weeks of the agreed
start date. For larger projects, a feasible research framework
will be negotiated in advance, and a report will be submitted
within a week of the end of the agreed research period. To
commission research, we require a written confirmation that
you adhere to our terms and conditions, accompanied by a contact
address, landline phone number, and if possible an email address,
so that we can keep you informed of our progress.
Payment
Unlike some research organisations, we do not request full
payment up front, only a 10% deposit where a budget has been
set in advance; but this means that we trust you to pay us
promptly once we have completed your work. You will be invoiced
for the work upon delivery of your research report, or the
conclusion of any services rendered by House Detectives and
their associates. Online transactions are available via our
Paypal account or via credit transfer into our bank account,
whilst cheques are also acceptable and sent to our offices
at Flat 3, 70-72 Broad Street, Teddington, Middlesex, TW11
8QY.
Payment
must be received within 28 days of receipt of the invoice;
a receipt can be provided on request. After this date, under
our terms of trade we are entitled to levy an additional administration
charge of 10% of the invoice value. If payment is still not
forthcoming after a further 28 days, we reserve the right
to place the outstanding sum in the hands of Sovereign Legal
Services, a debt collection agency. This may result in additional
administrative costs and, if necessary, court fees and interest
charges.
Disclaimer for legal research
House Detectives will provide a report and copies of all
relevant material as part of the research service, but the
supply of such material does not equate to the researcher
offering a legal opinion on the results of the search in question.
In consequence House Detectives accepts no liability or consequence
for any action or actions taken by the commissioning person
or body as a result of the material found during the research.
