I have been lucky in this respect, starting with Natwest stockbrokers, then TD, then ii, that I do not need any cash in the account to make a T2 purchase. The only limitation is the daily rate at which we can transfer from our bank a/c, which is quite low. Could be increased if we migrated to a dearer a/c but that is another story.
Were it not for that I could spend c£300k without having a sou.
