Look at the costs of Modular, these are general but in the right ballpark.

PPL - £6500
Hour Building - 100hrs @ £120 in the UK - £12,000
ATPL course - £2,000
Night Rating - £700
CPL - £4700
Multi Rating - £2,000
IR - £12,000
MCC - £3,000

Total = £42,900

What you really spend is quite different, these are the extras that I spent.

PPL exams - 8 @ £15 each - £120
PPL GST - £320
PPL License issue - £150 (can't remember exact cost)
Night Rating endorsement - £70
Petrol to & from Bristol Intl - 80 trips x 75 miles @ 35mpg - £600
Ancillaries like headset (x2), kneeboard, CRP1 & 5, pens etc etc - £600
Petrol to & from BGS for ATPL - 110 mile round trip x 5 days x 4 weeks - £250
Lunch & snacks + drinks for duration of ATPLs - £80
ATPL exams x 14 @ £60 - £840
ATPL exam accomodation for 8 days (2 modules), including all food, drinks, travel expenses - £500
Petrol to & from Aeros in Staverton - for hour building, CPL/IR - 110 trips @ 68 mile round trip - £840
Landing fees during hour building - £125
CPL test fee - including solo hire for test - £975
IR test fee - including solo hire for test - £1250
CPL/IR license issue - £210
FIC course, including test fee, solo hire, travel & food - £7200

Now there must be more to it than this, but the extras adds up to £14,130

This gives a grand total of £57,030

Add a few more things that I've most likely forgotten and it is pushing £60,000.

So all in all is it that much cheaper? I'm not sure what's included in the integrated course as far as ancillaries go so I can't comment.
