Wouldn't that be 150% more advice?
I think to be fair to the consultants out there that are actually good, it's not really just a case of sending the documents to them for them to lodge it on your behalf, as that would be a bit pointless. If they are any good, they should assess your case thouroughly and in the end you should be left with an iron clad application thats not open to speculation and guesswork. The biggest problem with consultants is the the cost, and who to trust as there's many sharks out there. The biggest problem with doing it yourself is that it usually takes longer, going backwards and forwards with this document and that document as and when requested.
In short:
DIY is great, as it doesn't cost and is straight forward enough or sometimes with a bit of help, but usually takes longer and is open to some problems in some cases.
Going through a consultant costs, but
if they are reputable (very important!!) is usually quicker and has a high chance of being successful. I think consultants should only be used if your case is complicated though, as your average application is usually straight forward and not worth the expense.
I'm in fair mode today
