i dont think its that much, around £100
i think its around 1/3 of appeals are won becuase of news evidence that was submitted, if they had submitted that evidence in the first place it would have saved alot of time and money.

i wonder if you get your money back if you win ?? i doubt it but you should..

a solicitor could charge £400+ an hour, so £100 is not that much..

minimise your chances of refusal is the way to get your visa
