My best estimation, you could complete the whole thing (zero-CPL/ME/IR) for 65% of the cost in the UK (depending on which school you chose of course).

Trying to be impartial here, why not look closer all of the schools which have FAA and UK CAA and EASA approval?, not in any particular order;
L3
Skyborne
Pilots Paradise (now Wings Airline Academy)
2-Fly
Agreed except the L3 bit, be ready for an absolute skip fire of a training pipeline if you go down that route.
