Why being based in Birmingham matters

• Faster response on time-critical cases across the West Midlands, without the delay of sending someone up from London
• A tracing team with genuine day-to-day familiarity with the area’s boroughs, courts and communities
• The same access to national databases, international networks and professional-only records as our London operation — being based in Birmingham doesn’t mean a smaller toolkit
• A fixed, upfront fee agreed before work starts, whatever the case ends up involving

How to start a trace with us

Call, email or message us with whatever you know — a name, an old address, a rough age, even just a former employer. One of our Birmingham-based tracing agents will talk it through with you, explain what’s realistic, and agree a fixed fee before anything begins. Most cases come back within three to five days; genuine emergencies, like the funeral case above, can be resolved the same day.

Why choose Bond Rees Tracing Agents?

Our professional tracing agents are also trained private investigators. The majority are ex-military or ex-police and have the knowledge, expertise and access to resources to ensure we are the leaders in the people tracing industry.

We are the UK’s leading tracing company, open 24 hours a day and can start work immediately on every trace requested from us.

A good share of our work never touches a UK address at all. We regularly trace people and assets into India, Pakistan, the USA, Canada, Australia, and across Europe, using a network of tracing partners we’ve built relationships with over years rather than a single overseas subcontractor. Birmingham’s own connections to South Asia in particular mean we get a steady flow of clients whose search starts here but ends in Mumbai, Lahore or further afield — and having the coordination based centrally in the city, rather than in London, hasn’t slowed a single one of those cases down.

Bond Rees are a fully legally compliant Investigations and Tracing Agency. Our Birmingham team has been featured in the press worldwide, including The New York Post, Huffington Post, The Sun, Metro Yahoo Life, The Mirror, Lad Bible, Bristol Post, and Wales Online.

Fast, 100% Legal People Tracing, Anywhere in the World!

We can usually locate your missing individual in Birmingham or elsewhere in the UK, within 3 to 5 days and, quite often even sooner or the same day. We guarantee that we will provide you with the current details for the right person that you are looking for.

We have a very high success rate for tracing people and all of our tracing agents go above and beyond to provide your trace in the shortest possible time.

Once we have located your missing person we will provide you with their current address and any other information we have uncovered which we feel will be useful to you and that is legal for us to provide.

We provide our expertise in tracing services to private/general public customers as well as companies and legal firms to locate the person you or your business need to find.

Our specialist tracing agents can locate someone with minimal information from you due to their experience and knowledge, expert methods and access to resources and data not available to the public or other tracing agencies.

We adhere fully to the requirements set by the Data Protection Act and the Credit Services Association so you can be assured that every tracing agent working for us will act in a legal and ethical manner throughout every people tracing process they conduct.

We charge an upfront and affordable fixed fee so, unlike with many other tracing companies, you know exactly how much your trace will cost. There will be no further costs added no matter if the trace takes longer than usual or is more complex. This is not the case with many companies who offer no trace, no fee arrangements; with Bond Rees, you know the full price you will pay for your trace. This price is for the entire job and there will be no additional fees.

Tracing Case Studies

Finding a Long-Lost Sister — Cape Town to Glasgow

Location: Birmingham

Case Background

One of our Birmingham tracing agents was contacted by an elderly client who had lost touch with her sister more than twenty years earlier, following a family falling-out that neither of them had ever quite managed to put right. The last she’d heard, her sister had emigrated to Cape Town, South Africa, and that was the only lead she had to go on — a country, no address, no phone number, and information that was, as it turned out, well out of date.

Our client explained that time was starting to weigh on her. She wasn’t in the best of health, and she’d decided she didn’t want to go to her grave without trying, one more time, to find her sister and put things right between them.

What We Did

We began the trace where our client’s information pointed us — South Africa — running checks against international records and residency databases to establish whether her sister was still living in Cape Town. Nothing current came back. Rather than treat that as a dead end, our agent widened the search to look for any more recent activity tied to her name, working through public records, electoral data and open-source information to pick up a trail.

That work turned up a change of address nine months prior — not within South Africa at all, but a return to the UK. Her sister had, in fact, moved back from Cape Town to Glasgow, resettling in Scotland without any of the family in Birmingham knowing. Once we had a UK location to work with, confirming her current address and contact details took very little further effort.

The Result

We were able to hand our client a current address and phone number for her sister in Glasgow, along with confirmation of when she’d returned to the UK. Our client made contact shortly afterwards, and the two sisters spoke for the first time in over two decades. They’ve since been able to rebuild their relationship, visiting one another between Birmingham and Glasgow — something our client had feared she would never get the chance to do.

Conclusion

This case is a good example of why a trace shouldn’t be limited to the last country someone was known to be living in. Our client’s information about Cape Town was accurate once, but people move, and an assumption based on outdated details can send a search in the wrong direction entirely if it isn’t tested. By following the most recent trail rather than the oldest one, our Birmingham tracing agents were able to reunite two sisters in time for them to enjoy the relationship again in their later years.

Uncovering Hidden Machinery in a Business Acquisition

Location: Birmingham

Case Background

We were contacted by a Birmingham-based client midway through the acquisition of a manufacturing business. As part of his own due diligence, he’d been through the company’s asset register — 36 machines were listed as part of the sale — but something about it didn’t sit right with him. He suspected that not everything on paper was actually where it should be, and that some machinery may have quietly gone missing from the books before the deal completed. Given the value involved, he asked Bond Rees to trace the company’s assets and confirm exactly what he was buying before he committed any further.

What We Did

Our tracing agents began by working through the asset register alongside the company’s own records, cross-checking serial numbers, purchase histories and any documentation tied to each of the 36 machines. Two machines quickly stood out — both had reportedly broken down and been written off, but neither had been formally decommissioned, scrapped or disposed of through any channel we could verify.

Rather than accept the seller’s explanation at face value, we traced the movement of both machines directly. We were able to establish that they had in fact been relocated to a separate premises shortly after the acquisition agreement had already been signed — not before, as the timeline would have suggested if the breakdowns were genuine. Once we’d located the machines, we arranged for them to be inspected.

The Result

Both machines were found to be in full working order, with no evidence of the breakdowns the seller had described. Based on current second-hand values for machinery of that type and condition, the two machines alone were worth approximately £68,000. Far from being scrapped, they had simply been moved out of sight during the sale process.

Armed with this evidence, our client was able to establish that the seller had knowingly misrepresented the condition and whereabouts of company assets during the acquisition — a false representation made dishonestly, and one intended to cause our client financial loss by allowing him to complete a purchase on the basis of incomplete and inaccurate information.

Conclusion

Rather than pulling out of the deal, our client used the findings to go back to the negotiating table. Knowing the true state and value of the company’s assets, he was able to renegotiate the terms of the acquisition to reflect what he was actually buying, rather than what he’d been told he was buying. The acquisition went ahead on far stronger footing, and our client avoided what could have been a significant, quietly absorbed loss.

This case is a reminder that asset tracing isn’t only useful for recovering what’s been lost after the fact — it has just as much value applied before a deal completes, when a seller’s account of events doesn’t quite add up.
