    Best way to invest money for new baby. Junior ISAs, etc

    I did wonder if that was only for new customers, or perhaps a recent change and they haven't written to you yet... anyway, no matter. Good spot on the "no withdrawals" thing, I never spotted that but not bothered because I won't be touching it anyway. You can transfer to other Child ISA's...

    Best way to invest money for new baby. Junior ISAs, etc

    Just FYI, the Young saver is now 2.25%, not 3%..... The ISA is 4%. AFAIUI you can withdraw from the ISA at any time though so just as easy to use for the skiing trip....

    Best way to invest money for new baby. Junior ISAs, etc

    Solicitors!

    Based on current experience, I would highly recommend anyone NOT to use Mark Redler.... It's been a very, very poor experience so far. Will update add the process goes on and hopefully things change for the better, but I'm not hopeful.

    Cheers @kyoto49 - I have looked at them and the various other online agents so will be interested on your feedback. Most of me thinks that as long as the property is on RightMove and PrimeLocation then its not worth extra for newspaper ads and the like. What worries me about the online only...
