This is one of the cheaper places (£25 for .co.uk / £15 for .com) i've
seen following a quick search to try to grab it for you...

http://www.namewarden.com/backorder.html

"The Back-Order Service fee includes the price of registration of a
domain name for a minimum of a one-year term."

As for the registrations themselves, all mine are with 123-reg and i've
had no problems at all, other than the dumb fuckers not telling anyone
when they changed the ftp servers you had to use for the free hosting
with Pipex :-}

I can't see anything about transferring out of their system which might
rack up the costs though...

Ooh, interesting...

"2. Do you charge for traferring a domain to another provider once it
has been registered?
No. If we register a name on your behalf, then you may free of charge
transfer the IPSTAG in the case of a UK domain or the domain itself in
the case of other domains. We cannot guarantee that you will not be
charged by the receiving organisation but we will not make a charge for
this."
