These costs apply where your claim is in relation to an unpaid invoice which is not disputed and enforcement action is not needed.

If the other party disputes your claim at any point, we will discuss any further work required and provide you with revised advice about costs if necessary, which could be on a fixed fee (e.g. if a one off letter is required), or an hourly rate if more extensive work is needed.

Debt value	Court fee	Our fee (plus VAT)	Total
Up to £5,000	£205	£350	£555
£5,001 – £10,000	£455	£500	£955
£10,001 – 50,000	5% value of the claim	£750	£750 + court fee

Anyone wishing to proceed with a claim should note that:

The VAT element of our fee cannot be reclaimed from your debtor.
Interest and compensation may take the debt into a higher banding, with a higher cost.
The costs quoted above are not for matters where enforcement action, such as the bailiff, is needed to collect your debt.
The costs quoted above do not include disbursements such as counsel’s fees or other necessary fees for preparing your claim at court.

Our fee includes:

Taking your instructions and reviewing documentation
Undertaking appropriate searches
Sending a letter before action
Receiving payment and sending onto you, or if the debt is not paid, either drafting and issuing claim or instructing counsel to draft the court papers
Where no Acknowledgment of Service or Defence is received, applying to the court to enter Judgement in default
When Judgement in default in received, write to the other side to request payment
If payment is not received within 14 days, providing you with advice on next steps and likely costs

Matters usually take 4-6 weeks from receipt of instructions from you to receipt of payment from the other side, depending on whether or not it is necessary to issue a claim. This is on the basis that the other side pays promptly on receipt of Judgement in default. If enforcement action is needed, the matter will take longer to resolve.

I just want to thank you Tanaaz and Robert for enduring with our property travails for so many years with such professionalism and good sense.

Alan and Samanthi

Worked with Avi and Matthew on many transactions and they never fail to deliver. Their service, knowledge and expertise is 2nd to none but their proactive approach sets them apart. Delighted to work with them time and time again.

Meir

We had a great experience working with Wale and Robert. Buying our flat went super smoothly and dealt with in courteous and professional way.

Yotam

I had the pleasure of working with David on some issues we had; from start to finish the experience was very good, and we got the outcome we needed as a company plus very good advice for the future. Overall a 5-star experience.

Effy

Needing a lawyer in a different country was a bit overwhelming living in the US. Gemma Barnhurst was lovely to work with. She put me at ease and provided good counsel. I am glad I was referred to BBS Law by a friend and would recommend them to anyone else needing similar services.

After appointing BBS I was introduced to Kelly and Safiyah who would be looking after my property sale. I was impressed with them every step of the way, they kept me informed, avoided some potential issues and were thoroughly professional. What I like the most was the personable way they dealt with the matter, very attentive and always on hand to move things forward. A real pleasure to deal with thank you both.

Sean

Avi, Safiyah & Kelly have dealt with a number of transactions for me over the past few years. Their attention to detail is incredible. They are a hard working team who will ensure you get the deal done without any fuss. Emails get replied to, matters get dealt with swiftly and i was kept in the loop the whole time. If you would like to get the deal done in good time and with professionalism then look no further! I would highly recommend them and look forward to doing more business with them all in the near future.

Josh

I really cannot thank you enough for all your help and support. You have been nothing short of superb and I am incredibly grateful to have found you, as I am sure I would not have got this result if I had not. It's not just your in depth grasp of the law and intelligent, systematic approach that I will never forget, but also the kindness and humanity you showed me throughout. I appreciate it more than you know.
