Flight prices: Are these too good to be true?

Hi all,

Want to book flights from Manchester to Sydney travelling in July. I've come across http://flightxpert.com/Default.aspx and they are 25% cheaper than anything else I can find.

I can't find much about Flightxpert online. They are TTA bonded (I have verified this on the TTA website) but my spidey sense is tingling that their prices are too good to be true. My fear is that I'll end up paying them thousands of pounds and then never see my tickets.

Am I right to be wary?

Thanks

Sep 16 £18780 Jan 17 £17082
Oct 16 £17873

    I just tried for flights in July to Sydney and their website is quoting over £1000 so the fares may be genuine. They are unlikely to have fares that no one else has as they will be buying them from the same source as most other agents, the 'from fares' don't seem realistic for flights in July, but then they don't say they are July flights
