Pre-action asset report

Before you spend
the court fee,
know what is there.

Litigation against someone with nothing is a fee you pay to lose. A pre-action asset report answers the only question that matters before issue: if you win, is there anything to recover, and where is it?

What we look at

Property ownership and charges in England, Wales and Scotland. Vehicles. Company interests, appointments and shareholdings. Existing judgments and decrees. Insolvency and bankruptcy history. Trading indicators. Connected parties and transfers that suggest assets have moved.

What you receive

A structured written report within five working days: assets identified, encumbrances, red flags, and a plain recovery assessment. It is written to be read by the client as well as the solicitor, so the decision to issue, settle or walk can be made on evidence.

Pricing

Fixed fee, quoted on instruction. Individual and corporate defendants priced separately. Volume terms for firms.

Questions

Asked before, answered here.

Is it admissible?

It is an intelligence report, not expert evidence. It informs your decision and your strategy; where a matter proceeds, we can support the evidence properly at the enforcement stage.

Can it be done faster?

Yes, by arrangement, at a premium.

Do you cover Scotland?

Natively. We work both jurisdictions daily.

What if the report says walk away?

Then it has saved you the court fee and the costs exposure. That is the product.
