Out of Hours Advice Sessions

If you book an appointment outside our standard hours (9 AM – 4:30 PM UK time, Monday to Friday and anytime on a Saturday, Sunday, or UK Bank Holiday), you are agreeing to an out-of-hours appointment charged at a fee of £200. If you self-book and choose an appointment outside of these operating hours for less than the agreed fee of £200, you will be contacted to pay the difference. If you do not want to pay the difference, we will reschedule your appointment to a later day that falls within our standard hours at no additional cost but this is likely to cause you a delay in seeking advice from us. If you choose not to reschedule, you will be subject to a £30 admin fee.
