    There is an option to transfer to another broker and sell via them, not sure how this works and whether it would be quicker or not?

    You would have to fill out a crest form. Good chance it will take 10 working days for the transfer to complete. Usually a fee of around £10 to do this plus a dealing fee at the other end. No point doing it if you plan to sell before the 8 November where the flat fee of £7.50 applies.

    As a side note I've just set up my sharedeal account with Equiniti and you can't do anything with it until they send you a code in the post - which takes 2-3 days!
  • Sorry Chopper, if you setup an online account and trade via that online rather than the automated telephone, can you transfer funds electronically rather than hassle of cheques?

    AndyBSG.

    Did you decide to sell via the automated phone system hence the batches, the delay and the cheque? or is this also the way that the sharedeal website is operating as well?

    Still waiting on my email, I am disgusted about how poorly this has been handled.

    I did it through the phone system.

    I tried to do it through the online sharedealing but couldn't see anything on the registration page about how to open one up if you already have RM shares.

    I wasn't 'desperate' I just don't want to hold shares in individual companies, and especially low value amounts.

    On the last part you could easily buy more so that's irrelevant but if you don't want shares then you're better off out.

    It's a 0.75% fee, minimum £7.50 rather than a flat fee.

    All those who keep asking about how to sell and complaining that 3pm is too long to wait these are your options - as advised in the prospectus you read before buying.

    Has anyone managed to successfully sell using Equiniti online or has it been confirmed that you will be unable to do that until you receive an activation code (by post!)?
