Payment and fees

Library fee
You can search our database and make sites visits (recces) absolutely free of charge. When you do decide you would like to hire a location we charge a flat rate £100 library / administration free.

Hire fee
As the location agent we negotiate hire fees to ultimately get you the best possible deal. All our quotes include our commission.

Commission
Our commission is a maximum of 20 per cent of the total hire fee. As we are a Collective, we offer our Members a royalty payment everytime a location within their portfolio is hired. Therefore, based on 20 per cent commission our total hire fee is split three ways*:

*At no point can any member financially benefit from hiring a location from within their own portfolio.  This is a key clause in every member's contract.  We feel it is fair that location managers be rewarded for finding new properties with filming potential and for making them available to the industry as locations.  But we would never allow a member to benefit financially by hiring their own location.

Deposit / bond
We require a deposit of 20 per cent (or minimum £100) in addition to the hire fee. This deposit is held to protect the location owner against minor damages and overrun fees. We return the deposit as soon as we have received confirmation that the location is fully reinstated to the satifaction of the owner.
