About Us - Low Cost Detectives

Low Cost Detectives were established in 1991

After working in the Detective Industry for over 30 years Christopher Knowles and Peter Smithson one day over lunch were discussing how they had noticed that whilst Detective and Investigation work is a very specialist area requiring unique skills and contacts, companies often over charge and over complicate their services and offerings.

Inspired by this they decided to set up Low Cost Detectives in order to provide clients a unique, simple, cost effective, yet high value and very results driven service.

We only employ highly skilled private investigators and surveillance experts as well as a team of former government researchers. We use the latest technology and work to the most exacting professional standards. The service we provide is friendly, discreet, affordable and fully legal.

A Private Investigator’s job is to help organisations, members of the public, and solicitors, to solve sensitive or difficult problems by discretely gathering evidence and information.  Information is gathered using professional methods, including tracking, surveillance, making enquiries and monitoring.  A Private Investigator will uncover the facts.  This information is then presented, and advice is offered for you where appropriate.

Investigating fraud and theft

Using a private investigator is perfectly legal, providing that you choose a professional and ethical investigator or agency that follow the rule of the law, based on the country they operate in.

Private investigators employ the use of a variety of professional tools, equipment and know-how to obtain the information they require.  The way in which information is gathered will depend completely on the nature of the case that is being investigated.

The price you can expect to pay for a private investigator to take on your case will be entirely dependent on the nature and extent of your enquiry.  Factors that will play a part in the cost include the number of operatives that will be required to carry out the investigation, mileage undertaken, and the tools, equipment and resources required.

Typical costs for common investigations are:

Surveillance – £45 – £75 per hour

Tracing people – £150 – £350

Background checks – £55 – £95 per hour

GPS tracking – £300 – £800
