Well – it was bound to happen.
With the VAT increase, rising fuel prices and the general cost of living rising substantially I AM going to have to increase my fees from £18 to £20 per hour, which is still pretty reasonable compared to many other genealogists’ fees.
However, I am not doing this officially until 1st February 2011 – and anyone who hires my genealogical services before that date will stay at the old rate for the whole of the time of the first project they commission – even if that lasts for 6 months!
However, all NEW jobs after 1st February, and all 2nd and subsequent projects will be charged at the new rate of £20 per hour.
So, if you’ve been thinking about hiring someone to trace your ancestors in the UK but have been hesitating, now is the time to do it.
