A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. Class One medical obtained ✔️

The cheaper way of obtaining your professional licence is the modular route. The two ATOs you mentioned above offer the full time integrated courses. Expensive.

Timing will be of the essence given the time limits imposed on passing the EASA 14 exams & the CPL/IR flight tests.
So PPL first, and then having saved up, the groundschool/exams, hour building, and modular flying courses + MCC.
Do allow for accommodation / travel and probably at least a 10% contingency.

Your PPL instructor will be able to tell you whether you have the aptitude to progress further. You need an honest answer at this point. Otherwise you may well be wasting your money; even if you scrape through the CPL probably not employable, all your savings spent and with no prospect of earning.
You may regard this as being a negative/unhelpful comment but I have seen this unfortunate situation on a number of occasions.
Things might well change, depending how BREXIT goes, so nothing written is set in stone.

PS. Avoid loans / remortgaging as future dreams/aspirations cannot be guaranteed.
