Stocks & Shares ISA - buy shares before transfer complete?

I'm planning on transferring my stocks and shares ISA to another provider. Can I buy shares on the new provider's platform in the ISA before the transfer is complete? I have already paid into the ISA on the old provider in this tax year.

No, you will be able to buy shares when the cash is in the new ISA account.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

I think the OP is suggesting adding and investing new cash directly in the new S&S ISA account while the other assets (including some current year contributions) are transfering from the previous S&S ISA account.
As long as you end the tax year with all the current year assets in a single account and do not breach the annual contribution limit (as a total across both accounts) you will probably get away with it if the new provider's systems don't stop you. Still it's neater if you just wait a bit for the transfer to complete.
