Who We Are
Highly qualified and motivated professionals
Diligens Private Investigations is a professional investigation company founded in 2001 and based in London, United Kingdom, with expert investigators. Our objective is to uncover reliable evidence for our clients, so you can make a safe, profitable and informed decision whether it be personal or business. We offer the best service and most competitive pricing in the industry.
Digital Footprint Mapping
We utilise the latest "state of the art" software to gain an insight into an individual's on-line activity.
This enables us to understand more about the subject and their choices.
The digital trail of a subject is essential in fighting "cyber crime" and will ultimately lead to locating the source of that crime.
Active Digital Footprints consist of the data you leave when you make deliberate choices on the internet.
Passive Digital Footprints are those you leave behind without intending to or knowing it.
What you need to know
Hiring a private investigator can be a critical decision, whether you're seeking information for personal reasons or legal matters. However, navigating the costs associated with hiring one can be challenging. Understanding the factors that influence pricing and what to expect can help you make informed decisions when seeking investigative services.
Complexity of the Case: The complexity of your case plays a significant role in determining the cost of hiring a private investigator. Cases that require extensive research, surveillance, or involve multiple parties may incur higher fees due to the increased time and resources.
Private Investigator skills and knowledge can be invaluable in efficiently uncovering information and providing thorough investigative reports.
Type of Services Needed: The specific services you require will also impact the overall cost. Common services offered by private investigators include surveillance, background checks, locating missing persons, and investigating infidelity or fraud. Each service may have its own pricing structure based on the time and resources involved.
Geographic Location: The location of your investigation can influence costs, particularly if it requires travel outside of the investigator's usual operating area. Travel expenses, lodging, and other logistical considerations may be factored into the final bill.
Private investigators typically charge clients on an hourly basis, with rates varying depending on the factors mentioned above. Diligens Private Investigations can provide you with an hourly rate or an overall price for the entire assignment. In some instances a deposit may be requested in advance in order to secure the date(s) going forward.
In addition to hourly rates, clients should inquire about any additional fees or expenses that may apply. These could include mileage, equipment rental, court fees, and administrative costs. Transparency regarding fees is essential to avoid unexpected charges and ensure a clear understanding of the total cost involved.
Communicate Clearly: Provide detailed information about your case during the initial consultation to help the investigator understand your needs accurately. Clear communication can prevent unnecessary work and streamline the investigation process, reducing costs. A Private Investigator is only as good as the information provided by the client.
Set Realistic Expectations: Understand that investigations take time, and results may not be immediate. Setting realistic expectations can help manage costs by avoiding unnecessary or premature actions.
Review Contracts Carefully: Before hiring a private investigator, carefully review the terms outlined in the contract, including fees, payment schedules, and any guarantees or warranties offered. Seek clarification on any ambiguous terms to ensure there are no surprises later on.
Hiring a private investigator can provide valuable insights and information for a variety of personal and legal matters. By understanding the factors that influence pricing, familiarising yourself with common pricing models, and effectively managing costs, you can make informed decisions when seeking investigative services. Remember to prioritise transparency and communication with your chosen investigator to ensure a successful and cost-effective outcome.

Anti Stalking & Harrasment
Stalking and Harrasment represent intrusions into the lives of individuals, often leaving victims feeling vulnerable and violated.

It can include persistent communication, threats, intimidation or any action that creates an oppressive or hostile environment for the victim.
Diligens Private Investigations uses a combination of state of the art technology together with a physical presence designed to unearth the perpetrator(s) and so empower the victim, enabling them to move on with their lives
Absent Employee
UK employees were absent an average of 7.8 days over the past year according to new survey findings from the CIPD and Simplyhealth. This is the highest level reported in over a decade and two whole days more than the pre-pandemic rate of 5.8 days.
The upsurge in sickness absence comes at a time when employers are under increasing pressure with recruitment and retention challenges.
Is your business suffering as a result of the above ?
