I have never bought linkers, but my understanding is that the spread for retail investors is usually a little wider than for conventional gilts. HL onscreen prices are Sell:£98.32 Buy:£100.82, both before inflation adjustments.
They have to be dealt over the phone. With £50K T29 trades, I have usually got about 1/4 from mid-market with iWeb, but the last one was about 1/2 from mid-market. It may be better for shorter dates. Best buy currently seems to be TG36, but it is not a cash substitute:
