Dear all, We have been having some difficulty with a particular company about paying for HER/SMR searches. We would like to know what other peoples policies are on charging for a search. We charge commercial companies £40 plus VAT for a standard search. Does everyone else charge? Who do you charge? Just archaeological contractors? What about government bodies like The Environment Agency? Do you charge water companies like Severn Trent? If you don't charge companies like Severn Trent, do you charge consultancy companies working on behalf of them, as they are commercial? Regards, Emma Hancox Historic Environment Record Officer, Worcestershire County Council. ********************************************************************** Privileged/Confidential information and/or Copyright Material may be contained in this email.
