If you are not good with paperwork, or there are some serious issues that make your application complicated or risky, or if you want someone else to take care of everything for you step by step, then an agent may be a good idea.

Most provide a free assessment service to let you know whether you do qualify for a visa and which visa you qualify for. You may want to take advantage of that, and then decide.
Hi, many thanks for your usefull information.

That seems like us. But when you say 'no issues with qualifications' what does that mean? We have had an online pre-assesment done & we passed that, but it was a really basic one.

Thanks again, all the information is really usefull,
Kind Regards, Kelly.
