We provide professional people tracing services to help solicitors, landlords, businesses and private clients locate individuals across the UK. Whether you need to find a debtor, identify an address for legal correspondence or locate a beneficiary, we undertake focused enquiries to establish the most reliable information available.

An outdated address or disconnected telephone number can prevent a matter from moving forward.

 

Our investigations combine specialist tracing data, public records, open-source research and, where appropriate, physical field verification. We assess the information in context, check that records relate to the correct person and explain the strength of each finding.

Based in Bristol and covering the UK nationwide, we offer standalone traces and enquiries supporting wider investigations, process serving and debt recovery.

​

When people tracing can help

​

Our service supports a range of circumstances, including:

​

• Locating debtors before proceedings or following an unpaid judgment.

• Tracing former tenants with outstanding rent or other liabilities.

• Identifying addresses for respondents and parties to legal proceedings.

• Locating witnesses whose whereabouts are no longer known.

• Finding beneficiaries or individuals relevant to probate matters.

• Locating relatives or former contacts where the purpose is appropriate and lawful.

​

Each instruction is assessed individually. The reason for the enquiry, the intended use of the information and any safeguarding concerns determine whether we can accept the case and what information can appropriately be disclosed.

​

How we conduct the investigation

​

We begin by reviewing the subject’s name, last known address, date of birth where available, and any other reliable identifiers. This establishes a starting record and helps distinguish the subject from people with similar names.

​

Our desktop enquiries may include authorised tracing databases, available electoral-register information, company records, public directories, relevant social media and other open sources. We compare address histories, dates and identifying details to develop and test potential leads.

​

We utilize credit-reference data where permitted by the provider and appropriate to the instruction. We review recorded activity dates and address associations alongside other sources.

​

Where desktop research leaves an important question unresolved, we can discuss proportionate field verification. This may help establish the correct property or unit and assess evidence of current residency. Any visit or contact is planned within the agreed scope.

​

What the enquiry may establish

​

Depending on the available evidence, we may identify a current or likely residential address, relevant previous addresses and lawfully obtainable contact details. We can also clarify whether the evidence supports current residency or only a historical association.

We explain the confidence attached to the result and identify any further checks needed. Where a trace will support service of documents, we can discuss a separate process-serving instruction.

​

What your report contains

​

Your written report presents:

​

• The instruction, agreed scope and identifiers used.

• The tracing outcome and relevant address history.

• Contact details identified, where appropriate for disclosure.

• The evidence supporting the address or identity match.

• Source references, search dates and relevant activity dates.

• Any field-verification findings within the agreed scope.

• Confidence, limitations and recommended further enquiries.

​

Relevant supporting material is included where lawful and permitted. Confirmed findings are clearly distinguished from possible leads.

​

Confidentiality and legal compliance

​

Our enquiries are conducted within applicable UK data protection law, including the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, as amended. Before commencing, we assess the purpose, lawful basis, necessity and proportionality of the instruction. Where legitimate interests is the appropriate basis, we consider the rights and interests of the person being traced.

​

Database access is subject to permitted-use and disclosure restrictions. Information is handled confidentially, shared appropriately and limited to what is relevant to the enquiry.
