SRA-regulated transparent pricing

Honest fixed fees. No hourly billing surprises.

We publish our fees because Solicitors Regulation Authority rules require it, and because people deserve to know what they are paying before they walk in the door. Every Wimbledon Solicitors matter is handled on a transparent fixed-fee or fixed-range basis, agreed with you before work begins. No hidden hourly rates, no end-of-case shocks.

Pricing FAQ

Common questions about our fees

Why publish fees as ranges instead of a single fixed price?

No two cases are identical. The lower end of each range applies to straightforward matters, with all documents ready, no previous refusals, no complex financial circumstances. The upper end reflects matters where we need to reconstruct evidence, address a previous refusal, or handle unusual circumstances. After a short initial phone call, and a full assessment of your matter, we quote you a single fixed figure within the range, before any work begins.

Are these fees inclusive or exclusive of VAT?

All our solicitor fees are exclusive of VAT unless marked otherwise. VAT is chargeable at 20% on most services for UK-based clients. For some immigration services to clients applying from overseas, VAT does not apply under place-of-supply rules. These rows are marked "No VAT". The VAT position for your matter is confirmed before work begins. Home Office fees, IHS, and court fees are exempt from VAT.

Do you offer a free consultation?

We offer a short initial phone call, of up to five minutes, so we can understand your situation and confirm whether we are able to help. This is not full legal advice. If your matter needs a detailed assessment, we offer a paid eligibility assessment, and the fee for it is set out in the Immigration section above. Where we go on to act for you and our quoted fee exceeds £1,000, the assessment fee is deducted from your final fee.

How do I pay?

Payment is by bank transfer or cash. Bank account details are provided alongside your fee quote before work begins. Funds must clear into our account before we file any application on your behalf. Disbursements (Home Office fees, court fees, OPG registration fees) are paid by you directly to the relevant agency.

What happens if my case turns out to be more complex than first thought?

If during the course of work we identify materially new factors that take the matter outside the original scope (for example, an undisclosed prior refusal, a fresh ground of refusal, or the need for additional applications), we will pause and discuss this with you before any additional fee is incurred. Your original fixed fee never increases without your agreement.

Do you offer Legal Aid?

Legal Aid is available for limited categories of work: care proceedings under the Children Act, domestic abuse protective orders (Non-Molestation, Occupation Orders), asylum work, and some immigration detention matters. Most immigration and family work falls outside the scope of Legal Aid. During your initial call we will tell you honestly whether your matter is likely to qualify and refer you appropriately where it does.

What is your refund policy if my application is refused?

Our fees are for the work undertaken, not for a particular outcome. We do not refund fees in the event of refusal. However, where the refusal arises from matters within our control, we offer a discount on any subsequent Administrative Review, appeal, or fresh application. Home Office fees and the IHS are non-refundable in any circumstances. Refunds are issued by UKVI only in narrow technical situations.

How do I make a complaint about your fees or service?

You can raise any concern with the supervising solicitor on your matter at any time. If unresolved, our written Complaints Procedure is available on request and on our website at /complaints-procedure. If we cannot resolve your complaint after 8 weeks, you may complain to the Legal Ombudsman at legalombudsman.org.uk or call 0300 555 0333.
