If you are funding yourself
Mediation is quicker and cheaper than either negotiating via solicitors or going to court. A lot of information can be exchanged in the course of a meeting and misunderstandings can be quickly cleared up.
Our fee structure is based very simply on how many meetings you have. There are no hidden costs, so all paperwork that is produced for you is included in the charge for the meeting, and there are no additional VAT charges. Please see the table below for more detail.
Please note that if you wish to use mediation to resolve issues to do with children, your mediator can apply with both participants' consent to the Family Mediation Voucher scheme for a one-time only voucher worth £500 per family to help with the cost of joint meetings.
| TYPE OF MEETING | FEE (from 1st April 2024) | LENGTH OF MEETING |
| Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) | £95 per person | 45-60 minutes |
| Property and Finance meetings | £250 per person for first meeting £160 per person for each subsequent meeting | 1 hour and 30 mins |
| All Issues meetings (i.e. including property, finance and children's issues) | £250 per person for first meeting £160 per person for each subsequent meeting | 1 hour and 30 mins |
| Arrangements for Children | £125 per person for each meeting | 1 hour and 30 mins |
In cases involving property and finance disputes, the higher rate for the first meeting covers the additional administrative cost involved in documenting property and finance matters.
