Resources.

The reference material we publish openly — our charge-out rates, the Creditors' Guides referenced from our engagement letters, the Statements of Insolvency Practice we work to, and the regulatory bodies sitting behind the profession.

If you have received correspondence from us pointing here, the document you need is on this page or one of its two sub-pages.

Charge-out rates

Our standard hourly charge-out rates by grade of staff. Where SIP 9 requires us to disclose how fees are determined on a time-cost basis, these are the rates applied — subject to sanction from the relevant approving body in each appointment.

Rates are reviewed annually. The figures shown apply from the effective date below; the version applicable to each appointment is the version in effect on the date the office holder agreed to act.

Where ranges are shown, the position within the range reflects experience, specialism and the nature of the work. The actual rate applied to time recorded on each appointment will be disclosed in fee estimates and progress reports issued under SIP 9.

Document library

The two principal document libraries we host on stable URLs — the Creditors' Guides referenced from our engagement letters, and the Statements of Insolvency Practice that govern our conduct.

Each sub-page sits at a stable URL and is structured to be readable as a standalone reference.

Regulatory bodies & registers

The principal regulatory bodies and registers relevant to UK insolvency practice. Useful when verifying a practitioner's authorisation or escalating a complaint. Direct external links — we have no influence over the content hosted at these external sites.

Useful external resources

Speak with us about a specific case

The Creditors' Guides cover the framework. They cannot answer case-specific questions — whether the fee being charged is reasonable, what your rights are in the procedure, or how to raise a concern. We are happy to engage with creditors and other interested parties directly. Free initial conversation, no obligation.
