    used be good value when they charged 1% of the sale proceeds, with a minimum of £7.50 BUT have now got a £25.00 minimum charge, so...

    Depending on the name of the company that you hold shares in, it may be best for you to sell them through the companies share registrar.

    Many online share dealing platforms let you move physical share certificates onto their platform for nothing as a loss leader. Some also provide cheap (even free!) share dealing for a period for the same reason.

    Take a look at Hargreaves Lansdown and BestInvest, but there are many others.

    Also check for price of withdrawing money, which I know is free on HL, but would need to check for BI.
    I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

    Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.
