How do you find Hargreaves Lansdown? Any idea how their costs compare to others? Is there web interface ok?
hippy-
Hargreaves Lansdown service is great, a lot of their website functionality is available without an account, I'd suggest having a play. I looked at others(AJ Bell, III, Halifax) before selecting HL, other providers websites didn't compare to HL.
Tax relief is received 6-10 weeks after money is added to the account, all sorted automatically by HL.
They aren't the cheapest but I'm very happy with the service they provide here is a comparison table and also a blog that I subscribe to:
