Their attention to detail and quiet determination made all the difference. I am deeply grateful and would recommend them without hesitation.
Thanks very much for this! Appreciative for all the efforts made and great to have them served
When I launched my own venture, my guests told me I wasn’t charging enough for what I offered - I suspect the same might apply to you! I’m truly grateful for what you charged me, especially as keeping costs manageable at this stage makes a real difference. But honestly… I don’t think you’re charging enough.
I am very impressed by the prompt, precise and professional service I received from Avon Investigations. From my initial enquiry to completion of the task, I was treated sensitively and felt safe in the knowledge my privacy was respected. I highly recommend their services.

FAQs
Here are some common questions about our investigation services and how we operate.
Absolutely. Especially when conducted by licensed investigators, like us, under the Ministry of Justice.
The fact the NZ Police are under resourced is well documents. For you, this means there is often a gap where certain matters should be investigated but don’t meet the Police threshold or are likely to take too long. That’s where we come in—we operate in that space, conducting investigations and preparing files (including files prepared for prosecution) to allow police to prosecute (if appropriate).
Our investigations cover any matter where you need an independent, factual, or evidence-based outcome. We specialise in finding information you know exists but can’t access yourself, or in giving you practical advice about whether it’s achievable. There’s very little we can’t—or won’t—investigate. Get in touch to discuss your specific needs.
Great question! In many ways, there isn’t much difference. Our team actually brings a wealth of experience from their time with the Police. The main difference is powers; the police have access to additional resources and information by virtue of their authority. This doesn’t stop us investigating and using a range of tools and resources available to us.
We work on a set fee basis. We’ll exhaust our enquiries under this fee and provide you with the results. Any further lines of enquiry can either be pursued by you directly, or we can continue them on your behalf for an additional cost (agreed with you beforehand).
