How are means interviews conducted?
Our specialist agents will attend the address of your subject and conduct an interview, tailored to meet your requirements. We will request information such as their current employment, income, benefits, other debts, the value of and the subject’s equity in the house, and whether they own or rent the property. The agent will also list their own observations such as a description of the property, and any visible assets and liabilities. We can also provide you with photographs.
Our team can also undertake mortality tracing, beneficiary tracing, asset tracing, debt tracing, and overseas tracing. We understand that you may have strict regulatory or business deadlines to meet, therefore,
you can be confident that our team will resolutely stick to your timescale and budget. Although our team is regularly involved in large volume means interview projects, we are routinely instructed to trace and interview an individual or a small number of people. No matter how big or small your project is, you will receive scrupulous, personal, and dedicated service.

Case Study
We were contacted by a client to conduct an asset search on a person who was no longer repaying their outstanding debt.
We carried out discreet enquiries based around the provided address and found links to a variety of other addresses. Each address was scrutinised to verify the link between the property and the debtor, and we were left with four addresses positively associated with the subject, three being residential and one being a business address. The land registry confirmed two of the residential addresses were owned solely by the subject and that both of these properties had been converted into flats (all leased). We found a third address, jointly owned by the subject and their partner, where the property had recently been listed for sale. Our enquiries into the subject’s company appointments also found a further property owned by the business. Our pre-sue report included checks for adverse credit and we found several CCJs
outstanding. Finally, we gathered further information from our deep media searches in particular the business website which provided background information on the subject.
