Ian lives in a very well maintained home in one of the best areas of his home town. He has a close knit group of friends, but many of them are already in relationships and he therefore doesn’t get the chance to meet females socially.

Pricing FAQ

Answers to the most frequently asked questions about our matchmaking service.

What Type of People Go for the Searchmate Brand and Why?

At the Platinum membership level we usually get professionals and have Judges, Lawyers, Accountants, University Lecturers, Doctors etc already on the books. But we also get small business owners, entrepreneurs and people in more modest jobs joining at lower levels, as it is such good value and often no more than online dating. So a range of people but one defining characteristic is that they are usually comfortably off.

Which Membership Level Do You Feel Represents the Best Value?

We always feel that our Platinum membership level represents the best value as it includes working with a professional Headhunter as well as a Senior Matchmaker. It also has a very high degree of confidentiality and priority over the other levels for matching. It is sold with a hold option, to ensure that you do get to enjoy the full benefit of membership.

Do You Take Credit Cards, and Is There an Additional Charge?

Yes we take a full range of credit and debit cards and there is no additional charge for paying that way.

Why Is Searchmate One of the Best Known and Most Respected Agencies Nationally?

Searchmate was founded in 1998 and so has been around longer than many. It was also set up in the era before online dating became popular, so is based on those traditional values of honesty, integrity, fair dealing and good old fashioned customer care and service but all at a great price too, particularly when compared to those London based agencies talking in telephone numbers.

Can Your Membership Fees Be Paid by Instalments?

We don’t normally offer instalment facilities, but they can be arranged in special circumstances.

Can I Join Online?

Our service is considered to be much more personal than online dating, so the usual route is to join after a telephone consultation with one of our Personal matchmakers, who will take responsibility and will guide you through the whole of the onboarding process.
