Our Prices

At Primus Solicitor, we want to ensure our clients and potential clients have all the information they need to make informed decisions about our services. Below is a guide to our prices for immigration work, which we mainly undertake on behalf of members of the public. However, we also provide immigration services to businesses, and those services are not included in this guide.

Our Specialisations

In addition to immigration work, we also undertake Asylum applications, Human Rights applications, Human trafficking, and Modern Slavery cases. We are also instructed in highly specialized applications that often fall outside of the Immigration Rules, and we cannot provide those costs in a guide such as this.

Fees Structure

Depending on the type of application and the client’s circumstances, we may offer a fixed fee or an hourly-rated quotation for our costs. The information below relates to both these circumstances.

All prices listed are exclusive of VAT. As Primus Solicitors is VAT registered, VAT will be charged at the prevailing rate (currently 20%) on our fees and most expenses incurred on your behalf. We will inform you of the applicable VAT amount at the outset. In certain circumstances, VAT may not be payable, and we will advise you if this applies to your case.

These fees represent our professional fees; in other words, this is the amount that we will charge for the legal work that our firm will undertake on your case.

Variation in Services

Due to the individual nature of each application, the services provided to each client may differ.

Fixed Fees

We provide fixed fees for the majority of the work we undertake, as indicated in this guide. A fixed fee is an agreed-upon fee that will not be varied up or down and is not dependent on the application’s success. However, any disbursements or expenses incurred on your behalf or for carrying out our work are payable in addition to our fees. If you withdraw your instructions before the application is submitted, the fixed fee, along with any disbursements and expenses, will remain payable in full.

Alternatively, we work on hourly rates depending on the work you instruct us to do. The hourly rate we charge varies according to the seniority and expertise of the person performing the work. Our hourly rates are
