Fee changes

Whilst fee changes typically occur at the beginning of a new financial year if a change is intended, we are able to adjust our fees as and when required and therefore fee changes could occur at any time during a year. We would of course ensure that sufficient notice was provided and our website information is up-to-date should this happen.
