Buying new IPO

Am thinking of buying the IPO Greencoat UK Wind and asked HL if could buy through them - they said yes but normal dealing commission applied.
I asked them because I thought it would save messing around with having to have paper certificate and send it to them - they dont charge to put a paper share into online account.
So, if I have got to pay commission, I guess am better off just getting the paper certificate first. I am not missing anything am I - there isnt any point doing it through HL other than saving me a bit of time?
Thanks

    Yes, you would save the commission and you will know that you will get 1000 shares at minimum as you will invest at least £1,000. Transfer in for free and there you go!

    Cheers,
