    I'm hoping to wait for Fidelity's next "switch offer" periods, when they will reimburse switching fees charged by the outgoing platform (in this case HL). I haven't looked into the switching fees yet.

    Fidelity will always reimburse fees incurred by switching to them , there is no fixed offer period.

    You are maybe confusing it with the cashback offers they sometimes have for transfers , which are restricted to certain periods. For the amounts you are talking about , the cashback would not be very large . £50 max , maybe even only £20 ?

    Thanks, I was planning to look into how much the cashback would be. I also hadn't twigged that Fidelity always reimburses transfer fees (not sure whether HL charges transfer fees).
    HL have scrapped transfer fees

    Thanks, I just figured that out earlier. Seems my initial plan will work.
