We were charged £1500 +VAT with a money back guarantee that if we failed they would refund all the money. That included their fees but not the medicals, fees to TRA or DIMA.
So far have been happy with them, they won't send anything unless they are confident you will pass.

So really there is hardly any difference in price

Save yourself the money and fill in the forms yourself. It's really not as hard as people here make out and you'll have a load of extra cash for when you arrive.

Depends on your confidence, I know of a guy who failed TRA three times as a baker, took on an agent and then passed straight off when the agent changed baker to pastry chef!

I have heard of some very varying rates charged... Depending on your visa type you can pay more than double to some than others... You'll only find out by getting quotes off them, but make sure you're comparing like with like... Ask exactly what's included and what else they would expect you to pay for...
