Is the mimamum you can spend on shares each time always £50?

  • No idea, but why would you want to spend £7 in dealing charges to buy £50 worth of shares? That's a 14% charge. You'd do much better with a unit trust, or selftrade's ETFs

    Open a Halifax sharebuilder account. Purchases cost 1.50 and can be for any amount.

  • The first months free so i paid no charges, just 25p stamp duty. Also if I wanted to close my account and use another broker, how much would it cost?
