Hiring A UK Private Investigator

How often are you faced with a situation where you feel hiring a UK Private Investigator is the only option? Not very often… right? So where do you start and how can you make sure that the Private Investigator your thinking of hiring is the right choice for you. Bearing in mind that the private investigator industry in the U.K is not currently regulated, this open the doors for many rogue, fly by night individuals to set up and practice without any skill, experience or qualifications.

Before Hiring a Private Investigator, What should You Look Out For?

In the very first instance, the chances are that you did a quick search on google for a private investigator and felt compelled to call one of the first few listings at the top of the page. Please note that just because someone is listed in the top few positions on google does not mean that they are experienced and reputable. Anyone can pay to be listed in the first few listings and this does certainly not mean that this is the right fit for you. I appreciate that this may be a very emotional time in your life which is why you need help, so the last thing anyone want’s, is that you fall prey to a rogue firm.

First Step to take before hiring a Private Investigator

The very first thing I would recommend that you do, is call the number advertised on the listing during office hours and see if the call is answered. Many private Investigators embark on the journey of becoming a Private Investigator but start of as a part-time venture alongside their day job. Do you really want your case handled by a part-time private investigator? No… I didn’t think so either! If the call is answered, that’s a good sign. Now discuss your situation with the Investigator in great depth and take all the time you need. Don’t be rushed to just quickly summarise the situation. If you feel that you are being rushed and the conversation is diverted to the fee early on in the conversation, that’s generally not a positive sign and you should begin treading on the side of caution. As professional Private Investigators, our job is to help people. How can one expect to help someone or best advise them on their situation if they are not taking the time, to listen to the client?

How Does the Private Investigator Suggest They Can Help You?

Once you have briefed the Private Investigator about your situation, you should now expect a quote…right? Wrong!
You need to establish if this Private investigator has dealt with such a situation in the past and don’t feel afraid to ask about a past case. Of course the Private Investigator can’t reveal any sensitive information, but they should be able to give you an example and of course how they helped the client. Right now, you need to gain confidence in the Private Investigator you’re speaking with before discussing any fees.

Are the fees clearly quoted in a written agreement?

Being quoted a fee over the phone is fine but do not commit and make any payments over the phone or on a website without reading through the written contract. Any reputable UK private investigator will first send you a written contractual agreement clearly stating the official company registration details and address. This agreement must also clearly outline exactly what services you are paying for and what the private investigators obligations are to you. Without this crucial document, do NOT proceed. Over the years I have had many clients hiring our services after being completely disappointed with another firm where they have paid for a service without signing an agreement and of course that makes it extremely difficult to obtain a refund.

Does your best friend need help? Hire a UK Private Detective for them

London is currently home to 8.7 million people, but those who live there can still struggle to find good friends. That’s why you’ll no doubt want to stop your best mates from making bad decisions when they start a new relationship in the capital.

If you’re concerned that there’s something suspicious about your pal’s new partner, then you might want to consider hiring a private investigator. Here are four times this would be the best plan of action.

1. Your friend is in denial

A new relationship can cause people to see through rose-tinted glasses. It’s possible that they might be in denial when it comes to the likelihood that their other half is lying to them or playing away behind their back. If your pal is unlikely to turn to a private detective themselves then you will have to do it for them.

2. You want to present irrefutable evidence

Your best friend could react badly if you suggest that their partner has been cheating without any evidence to support your accusations. Rather than risk damaging your friendship, a private detective can gather proof through methods such as surveillance. You can then present this to your mate without fear that they’ll question you.

3. The relationship is progressing rapidly

You might be worrying that your friend is moving too fast with their new partner. This could become apparent if they quickly take big steps in their relationship, such as moving in together or opening a joint bank account. A private investigator could dig up dirt on your friend’s partner’s love life to discover if they’ve previously hurried along other romances. This could be a sign that the romance won’t last.

4. You need more information

One way or another you can put your mind at rest by instructing a private detective to carry out a background check on this mystery person. This could flag up important information, such as their criminal history. Once you know the facts you can then let your mate know if they need to be careful.

Be a good friend

Best mates shouldn’t be afraid to go above and beyond and support each other. That’s why you shouldn’t dawdle when it comes to making sure that your pal’s new romance won’t end in misery. For information on hiring a private detective, get in touch with Private Investigations UK.

Could a private investigator save your marriage

Could an infidelity investigation save your marriage?

Could an infidelity investigation save your marriage?

When in a committed relationship, neither party wants to think of the other being dishonest or cheating with someone else. Unfortunately, however, this is an all too common occurrence. In some cases, a spouse may cheat on their partner for months, or even years, before it comes to light.

Whilst an affair can be devastating for a marriage, it is often the on-going secrecy and lies which cause the most damage. Although people may sometimes suspect that their spouse is cheating, they lack the evidence to prove it.

Finding the right evidence

With on-going denials, it can be impossible to move forward and find a way to repair the marriage or decide whether to separate. A cheating spouse investigation can, therefore, confirm whether your partner is being unfaithful and allow you to determine how to proceed.

Can a private investigator help?

Often, a spouse will attempt to find out whether a partner is cheating without any help. This can be time-consuming, emotionally exhausting and, ultimately, unsuccessful. By working with a professional detective agency, however, you can ensure that any relevant evidence is sourced, without having to commit to investigation work yourself.

Using professional techniques, such as surveillance services or phone number traces, an experienced private detective can access the information you need quickly and efficiently.

Surveillance services in the City of London

When a spouse is cheating, they will often meet people in busy areas, such as large towns and cities. People are more likely to be anonymous in larger areas, such as the City of London, and they may feel that they are less likely to be caught.

Indeed, locating someone in a large city can be complex, but with the help of a professional private investigator, you can access the information you need.

Tracing people with a private investigator

If you suspect your spouse is cheating and you want to find out who they’re having an affair with, you may need to ask your private investigator to activate a trace. This can confirm whether an affair is taking place and if so, who with.

Get in touch

Whilst accessing this type of information can be traumatic, finding out whether your spouse is cheating can also be invaluable. To find out more about how a private investigator could help you, contact us today.

Is your partner cheating? Here’s what could happen WITHOUT help from a private investigator

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

Is your partner cheating?

You can’t risk ignoring even the slightest sign that your partner could be doing the dirty. Therefore, you should take strides to collect evidence and confront them. Unfortunately, this isn’t always easy to do – that is, unless you turn to a private investigator for help. If you don’t go down this route, here are three things that could happen without assistance from a professional detective.

You could lose the upper hand

If you confront your other half without any firm evidence, it’s likely that they will merely refute your claims and label them as fantasy. This can put you in a particularly delicate position where you appear deluded, over-reactive and vulnerable. You could find that this changes the dynamic of your relationship and puts you in a poor place to further investigate. Meanwhile, a private investigator will ensure that you obtain the right evidence to keep you in the driver’s seat.

The romance may develop

If you never get down to the bottom of your partner’s infidelity, your significant other will probably continue to play away. It may be sad to acknowledge, but this only increases the likelihood that the romance will develop and that your partner could one day leave you for the other person. Luckily, a private investigator can work quickly to make sure that you find out the facts in the early days.

A third-party may become involved

One of the worst possible outcomes would be for someone else to catch your partner in the act. This could happen if a friend, relative or work colleague were to find your partner wining and dining someone else. This information could then spread around your workplace, social circles and family gathering – therefore only adding to the humiliation and betrayal that you feel. Thankfully, a private investigator will treat the same information with the utmost confidence and deliver it to you tactfully and quickly.

Find the answers today

You can stop your cheating partner in their tracks with the help of a private investigator. Whether you want to have your partner surveilled or just gather information on the other person, get in touch with Private Investigations UK for help today.

Private Investigators and Divorce Settlements

Private Investigators and Divorce Settlements

When one partner suspects another of cheating, they often use a private investigator to gather evidence. Whilst a devious spouse may deny the allegations, an infidelity investigation can help to confirm whether or not they are telling the truth.

Whilst couples sometimes separate as a result of an infidelity, there are many other issues which can cause a marriage or civil partnership to break down. If you’re going through a divorce or if you and your spouse have decided to separate, it may be important to seek help from a private investigator.

 

Private Investigators help you get what you deserve

Generally, the actual divorce or dissolution proceedings are handled separately to any financial agreements. There are strict rules governing the handling of joint assets when a union breaks down and these issues are often decided by a judge.

However, one spouse may attempt to hide money or assets in order to pay less when the divorce is finalised. Clever accounting and the use of off-shore accounts can leave one spouse with much less than they are entitled to.

 

Private Investigators uncover your partners financials

By using private investigator or a detectives agency, you can expose your partner’s true financial standing and ensure that the divorce settlement is handled appropriately and fairly.

Unfortunately, a divorce is often an acrimonious process and there is no guarantee that your spouse will approach the process amicably. Even if you share children, this doesn’t necessarily mean that they will be willing to acknowledge all their assets.

 

Providing for your future with the help of a Private Investigator

A bad settlement could leave you struggling to pay bills and you may even be forced to sell your home. To avoid this additional stress, why not use surveillance services to gather the information you need?

If you’re approaching a divorce or dissolution of a civil partnership, it’s important to get what you deserve. Although it’s bound to be a difficult time emotionally, it’s essential that you enforce your rights.

 

Private Investigator digs deep into your partners hidden assets

Rather than allowing your partner to have a damaging effect on your future, a private investigator agency can help you to determine just how much capital your spouse has and you can use this information to ensure you reach a just and equitable settlement.

To find out more about the benefits of using a private investigator, why not contact us today?

Grounds for divorce - London Private Investigators - Cheating partner investigators

Grounds for Divorce | Private investigator London

/0 Comments/in , /by

How do I know if I have grounds for divorce?

The two most common routes to divorce in the UK are on the grounds of adultery or unreasonable behaviour.

A third route is time-dependent as is involves desertion, or two/five years separation. These are potentially the easiest to prove but also usually involve a delay through reaching the required timescales.

Hire a Private investigator to get evidence for a divorce

To be sure of a relatively swift and straightforward divorce you need evidence of your partner has cheated on you or they have displayed “unreasonable behaviour” (another way of describing this is socially unacceptable behaviour).

This is a tough decision to have to make and a time of great distress. One of the hardest things to do while you have such high emotions is to shift through what you know, what you feel and what you are guessing is true.

You could be asking yourself how much of your partner’s behaviour is unacceptable; are they cheating or is it paranoia, and are they being cruel, or are you being over-sensitive?

There is no potential for divorce in the UK on the grounds of “irreconcilable differences”, a no-blame alternative.

You have to put together evidence of unreasonable behaviour or adultery to show that the marriage has broken down irretrievably and that one partner acted in a way that was intolerable for the other partner.

A Private Investigator will get this proof?

There are ways to catch your partner out and get sufficient information to submit in divorce proceedings. This could involve, for example, following them and taking photographs, checking internet history or mobile phone use, checking bank records to see if they have unexplained hotel bills or a second mobile phone.

These actions can be traumatic and make you feel even more unhappy, particularly if it takes a while to “catch them in the act”.

The best way to gather enough strong, irrefutable evidence that your partner has cheated is to engage a private investigator who specialises in cheating spouse investigations. They have the skills and experience to find evidence as quickly as possible, with the minimum stress and disruption to you.

A private investigator can also help you to gather proof of illegal activities or other behaviour which the court would deem as unreasonable or socially unacceptable behaviour. Get in touch with us today.
