Great service, cheap trading but watch out
Review of Hargreaves Lansdown by
Bubba77
Advantages: Great site, competetive charges, good extras
Disadvantages: Extra charges and £1000 Bos savings account
Hargreaves Lansdown are the fourth online broker that I have had the pleasure of using so, by now, I've got a pretty good point of reference to compare.
Having started with Barclays Stockbrokers and moved on because of the rather expensive costs (comparatively), I dumped almost my entire holding during a month's free trading at Charles Schwab but pulled out before the exorbitant fees kicked in. After a brief but fruitless flirtation with the bargain ...

Great for beginners and masters alike
Review of Hargreaves Lansdown by
thatboymark
Advantages: Cheapest Execution only stockbroker
Disadvantages: Takes upto a few days to get everything set up.
Hargreaves Lansdown (HL) was my second experience with an online stockbroker, my first being with Barclays. The fact that I didn't have to maintain a bunch of paper certificates was a major factor in chosing HL, coupled with the low charges. From an extensive search of many online brokers which offered the paperless CREST system (including Barclays) I decided upon HL. At £9.95 per transaction, plus about £50 a year management free (for the CREST system) ...

Cannot be beaten!!
Review of Hargreaves Lansdown by
wiseoldowl
Advantages: Excellent service. Cheapest in UK.
Disadvantages: Absolutely none.
...ALL my share dealing with Hargreaves Lansdown on-line. Setting up the account was very easy on-line. The basic dealing account costs £40 per annum for which you also get 36 monthly publications relating to share tips, broker comments etc on FTSE and AIM stocks. These alone are worth some £120 per annum at normal client prices!
Share dealing is carried out AT A SET £9.95 PER DEAL!! A price that is definitively the cheapest available anywhere in the ...

Simply THE BEST!
Review of Hargreaves Lansdown by
wiseoldowl
Advantages: Very cheap, Very efficient, Very reliable. Very professional.
Disadvantages: Absolutely none!
...years ago I switched to Hargreaves Lansdown and have received 100% satisfaction ever since. Their telephone dealing was absolutely excellent, and their on-line dealing has bees completely without fault.
A good web site, with real-time prices and share quotes, accompanied with an extremely easy to use dealing page, and high security levels, are complemented bt an e-mail return to confirm allk deals within a minute or two, and contract notes received ...

One of the best
Review of Hargreaves Lansdown by
sivam
Advantages: very cheap and reliable
Disadvantages: ? high management charges
I have been using HL for about 9 months now and it is the best broker I had so far in terms of cost, accessibility and reliability. I also use Killik but the charges are very high. I have prevoiusly used Teletrade and Charles Schwab before them but they wouldnt match HL in terms of service and cost.
The dealing charges are fixed at £9.95 per trade aand till last week, once you place the order onlin it is executed manually by the delarers. However ...

Best deal around
Review of Hargreaves Lansdown by
Elagabulus
Advantages: Efficient, keen prices
Disadvantages: Not for occasional dealers
...have been receiving mailings from Hargreaves Lansdown for some months. I have also been looking for an online broker to hold my share dealing account and it looks to me as if HL have the best offer in the marketplace. Each deal costs £9.95 regardless of its size (of course you have to pay the stamp duty on purchases) and there is a quarterly charge of £12.50 to maintain the account. Interest is paid on the balance at a reasonable, but not generous, ...

Quick review of Hargreaves Lansdown
Review of Hargreaves Lansdown by
Paulstephen61
SIgning up with this stockbroker was very quick indeed. Trading is very straightforward and is confirmed with both email and letter through the post. Prices are very reasonable @ £9.95 for up to 499 shares and £14.95 for 500 to 1500. The information and advice available on the website is reasonable quality although checking Digital Look and Reuters content remains essential for me . I would strongly recmmend this company.

Cheapest in the land
Review of Hargreaves Lansdown by
griffiti
Advantages: Cheapest commission available
Disadvantages: New to online broking, needs testing out
...have not actually used the Hargreaves Lansdowne broking service yet, though I do use the company for discount broking of other things like ISAs, bonds, etc - and very efficient they are.
I hope to join them imminently, as their commission rate is a flat £9.50 per trade - the cheapest I am aware of. You need to set up a bank account with them, initial deposit of £1000 from/to which they debit, credit transactions. The account is Bank of Scotland, ...
