Depends to some extent what transactions you expect to make. There's a good write-up on the various brokers: http://monevator.com/no-fee-discount-broker-options/

thanks, i am still not sure which one to choose.

i don't know that much about financial markets either, so may choose the service that is more happy with me to phone them and ask them questions

I have found Hargreaves Lansdown's service generally better than Selftrade's. Crucially, at a time of great market volatility, I was able to trade in my HL account, where Selftrade were uncontactable both by phone and online.

What do you trade in, direct investments or indirect investments?
