Transfer of Stocks and Shares ISA

I have had the same stocks and shares ISA for 20 years with the same company it was originally Skandia and is now Quilter. I have never made any withdrawals or bought or sold any shares on the platform. I feel the charges are high as I do not do any dealings.  I am looking to move my Stocks and Shares ISA to another platform. I would appreciate any advise on what I do and any recommendations for which sort of provider would be best for me. Thanking you in anticipation.

    Impossible to answer on the limited information you have given.

    People wont be able to answer without knowing the amounts involved and what asset types you are looking to invest in.    Certain platforms are priced to attract different types of assets.  e.g. Unit Trusts, OEICS, ETFs, ITs, shares, gilts etc.

    If you do no dealings then you can't get any cheaper than iWeb which will cost you nothing. Long established so less risk that some of the newer providers.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    it looks like these are mainly actively managed funds, which have higher charges.
    If you move to another S&S ISA, you should look at cheaper passive investments.
    This will probably save more money than the actual charges for the S&S ISA, although you will probably get lower charges for that as well.
    For a fund of that size, you could easily reduce the overall charge for investments and platform to around 0.5% and less if you put your mind to it.
    How much are you paying now - 1.5% ??
