• Enforcement stage 2 - £495 plus VAT*
• Sale or disposal stage - fixed fee of £525 plus 7.5% of the sums to be recovered over £1,000, plus VAT*

The only other fees chargeable (without application to court) are for disbursements such as locksmiths, storage and auctioneers' fees.

* - VAT on fees is charged to the creditor where they are VAT registered, otherwise it is charged to the debtor. Where the compliance fee is charged to the creditor for an unsuccessful enforcement, VAT is applied.
