It has all been through the regulator. That's part of the reason it's taken so long to get this far.
It's your broker (HL) that's enforcing the cash offer. And I guess they are entitled to decide what products they offer. I'm not impressed with HL but there is a choice and you can vote with your feet. Move to AJ Bell or Interactive Investor who are letting retail transfer. Too late for this one of course but there is a pattern with HL.
Edit: I have reconsidered the above post and although I've left it, it sounds a bit blunt. Regrettably it seems to be the way these days with HL. They are becoming more and more inflexible and it seems aren't interested in anything unless it's easy for them to deal with. I've been dithering over moving away from them for the last year. This is another step closer to that happenning. I am hoping the new CEO will change HL's priorities
