Get your bank to open a dollar account for you. They should offer an expat service but unless you are sending many thousands of pounds a time transfers can be done for about half of what you quoted.
You can minimise these further by making transfers bi-monthly instead of monthly etc.0 -

They guarantee best rates. If you pay by draft, there's also no extra fees.0
