I was contemplating getting an account with them but putting in tickers like TN24 came up with nothing whilst on HL (who I use) it comes up so I assumed you couldn't buy "live" and online with IWEB.
TN24 is a conventional gilt. I don't know if you can buy conventional gilts live online with IWeb as I've only used them for index linkers, but if nobody else pipes up with a yeah or nay before Monday, and I remember to do so, I can initiate a buy for it and see what happens.
I know for sure that you can buy conventional gilts live online with Interactive Investor as I have a holding of TN24 there bought that way.
For index linked gilts, as monabri says, with IWeb you can put in
the order online, sticking in either the number of gilts you want to buy or the £ amount you want to spend (including the £5 dealing fee) and they'll do the trade for you as soon as they get round to it. My experience with the 3 index linked gilt trades I've done with them to date is that's always been around 5 to 7 minutes later and, as with all trades with them, you get an email when the trade goes through.
I'm not sure where you're putting it when you say "putting in tickers like TN24 came up with nothing" if you don't have an account with them, but if I log in and put TN24 into the dealing form it says "TN24 - UKGOVT OF 0.125 BDS 31/01/24 GBP1000" and "Closing Price 97.96 (GBP) on 25/08/2023 on Market (LSE)", and it does similarly with index linkers. When the market is open rather than a single price it gives the spread (clean prices, of course).
