How to compare quotes for bond

Cheapest is not the same as best value for bond. A slightly higher quote with a complete scope and no open-ended extras is often safer than the lowest figure with caveats.

Who sets bond prices

bond prices are set by the providers who do the work, not by a regulator or a single market rate. Their costs, capacity and risk assessment decide the figure you see.

Timing your bond

For bond, same-day and after-hours call-outs sit at the top of the range. A standard appointment booked in advance gives you the best chance of the typical figure.
