Beware - I purchased some Regent Inn shares today which have been trading between 21 and 22p. As often happens I could not get a "deal price" online so out of frustration hit the "negotiate" key - expecting to pay slightly over the market value. I was charged 24 p per share - A massive 10% over the odds. I am taking this up as a complaint, but I thought I would ask if anyone else has had similar experiences with Halifax. In the future I think I will be changing my trading provider Can anyone recommend a trader that does not rip you off?

Phoning takes too much time...put on queue most of the time.

hlyeo98,

That depends which broker you use!

I don't have any problems normally, and a few seconds wait is surely preferable to 100 dealing loss?
