Tracing Investigations

Tracing Investigations


If you need to locate an individual in Suffolk, Essex, Norfolk, Cambridge or elsewhere in the UK, Eastern Region Investigations provides professional, discreet and legally compliant tracing services.

Led by a former UK police officer, we specialise in structured person tracing investigations for private clients, solicitors, landlords and businesses. Every enquiry is handled confidentially and in accordance with UK data protection legislation.


A tracing investigation involves locating the current address or confirmed whereabouts of an individual using lawful intelligence gathering methods.

We conduct person tracing in the East of England for matters including:

  • Debtor tracing

  • Former tenant tracing

  • Locating beneficiaries

  • Missing family members

  • Witness tracing for legal proceedings

  • Pre-litigation enquiries

  • Absconded individuals

Each case is assessed individually to ensure lawful, proportionate and ethical investigation methods are used.
