Address investigation
Find where they really are, and prove it
Some people are hard to find. An address investigation goes further than a skip search: in-depth research across lawful sources, then a field check at the most likely address to confirm whether the person lives or works there. You receive a written report you can rely on, including when you need to show the court that service at an address isn't possible.

Questions
About address investigation
How is this different from a skip search?
A skip search is a quick online search for a newer address, added to an order. An address investigation is a deeper search plus a visit to confirm the address, with a written report.
How is it priced?
By quotation, based on what you already know and where the person may be. Ask us and we'll quote before we start.
Is a result guaranteed?
No. You're told plainly what we searched and found. When nobody can be located, the report records the efforts made, which can support an application for substituted service.
