Private Detective Investigator Prices Birmingham

Private Detective Rates

Private investigator prices in Birmingham and across the UK can vary from one extreme to the other. We have taken this into serious consideration and have set our prices competitively against the market. As such,  we work with clients by offering services suited to requirements with available budgets in mind. We believe in fair pricing for investigative services as there is a common misconception with regards to the price, or hidden prices of hiring a private detective. The reality is that with SPI, we are transparent with our fees from the offset. Please note that our surveillance services are priced at hourly rates only and task expenses may be charged additionally where applicable.

Payment Details

Our private investigator prices are generally set at fixed initial rates for certain services (trace searches, background checks, GPS tracker deployments etc). However, we generally charge at hourly or daily rates for surveillance operations. Our services are inclusive of minor operational expenses, but do not include larger expenses (overnight accommodation, admission tickets etc). Clients are provided with detailed proposals, terms of business and itemised invoices prior to committing to the use of our services. Investigations that require a number of different services will be offered at discounted rates to ensure we deliver positive results with low private investigator rates. 

Private Investigator Prices At Discounted Rates

SPI stems from former extensive military careers with HM Forces. As such, we have signed the Armed Forces Covenant and we proudly support serving members and veterans in any way we can. To that end, our UK private investigator prices are charged at a 10% discounted rate on all services. It is the very least we can do to show our support. We do regularly review our private investigator rates to ensure our services are being delivered at fair and reasonable levels.
