It looks like another nosedive day again today. Still, we've had a few of those recently and things seem to move back up again. Shame they don't move up as quickly as they move down, but I guess that's the way that markets work.

@Ducati996R Hi Clive drop me a message nik.burrows@cobensdirect.co.uk Cheers

@Renmure-Jim said in Remaining ISA allowance bug in the system?: I’ve taken advantage of the flexible ISA a couple of times for significant purchases within a tax year and found the withdrawing and repaying to be pretty simple and intuitive. I'll second this. Most ISA providers don't offer flexible ISA's (my previous ISA provider didn't even know what one was.) This was a major factor in me moving my ISA to IM a few years ago.

Hi @iestyn and @Slow-Horses We charge a flat rate of £350 for all the research, application, and delivery. For all forum members that join before Christmas we will reduce that to £250. Our mortgage advisers are independent and conduct their research through the whole of the market. They will try and do everything for you and chase through to conclusion. If you would like to speak to them at any point you can contact them on 01622 522785. Alternatively if you have any general questions feel free to post here and we will try and answer.

Thank you Nik. Perhaps you could propose giving the client the option to abandon the small change remaining in funds since it costs the company more to withdraw than the amounts themselves. This would help expedite the process. Frank
