LSE Trading Accounts

Hi all, I've recently sent an E-mail to the LSE team and haven't received a reply, so was wondering whether you would be able to help! The E-mail was as follows: I've been following the stock market for the last couple of years and am interested in taking the plunge on buying shares from two companies and holding onto them until I am ready to sell. From the above, I believe that the account that would benefit me most is the Trading Account. I have also read through the costs and I can see that each trade is priced at £9.95 and you state that there are no annual fees or inactivity fees. Am I correct in saying that this means that my shares just sit in my account until I am ready to sell for any amount of time and the only other fee will be when I sell them shares, again only costing £9.95? Also, if I sell my shares and decide to stop trading, I can either leave my account open until I am ready to trade again, or close my account for free (as it's not an ISA Account). Just wondering if anyone can confirm the above for me as I would rather be certain than be stung with fees left, right and centre! Many thanks, Karl

Hi KG001, I am very sorry to hear you have not had a response to your recent correspondence. I have forwarded your email on to the trading team asking them to get back to you ASAP. Any future trading queries can go straight to trading@lse.co.uk, rather than info@lse.co.uk, this will speed up the response time for you. I can confirm there is not a fee for inactivity on your account and our commission is £9.95 per trade. You should also receive a full reply from the trading team shortly. Apologies for the delay in response. All the best
