IFA charges reasonable?

Just in the process of sorting my pension and funds moved by a IFA. There is a £106k pot. I am being charged by the IFA 2% of the lump sum and the new £350 per month for the first year, plus an ongoing fee of 0.75% (including the first year). Then there is the SIPP charge.
Does this sound reasonable?

Well the SIPP charge isn't for the IFA so it's not really fair to include those costs. I would have hoped the IFA has found a low cost pension for you?
2% is a good, low cost. But i'm not sure what's meant by an additional £350 per month?
The 0.75% ongoing management fee is about the norm, just make sure they're actually doing something for that money.0 -
The £350.00 per month mentioned is the new monthly contribution I will make.
