Help selling shares

Hi there,

Apologies if this is a really dumb question in advance.

I own just short of £1300 in shares for a company I previously worked for - it's a paper share certificate if that makes a difference.

I'm thinking of selling them and wondered what the best way of going about this would be please? There seems to be a whole world of online share traders about but given the small quantity I have and the fact I just want to sell and not reinvest I'm wondering if there's an easier way to do it.

Any help would be gratefully received

Thanks in advance

How do I transfer in stock that I hold in the form of certificates? X-O is a nominee based account. If you have share certificates, you can transfer them to your account by clicking here to download a Crest Transfer form. You need to complete a transfer form for each holding and then return to us at X-O.co.uk, Jarvis Investment Management Ltd, 78 Mount Ephraim, Tunbridge Wells, Kent TN48BS together with your valid share certificates (these must be in your name). Please make sure you fill in the following details – “Name of Undertaking” - The Company Name (i.e. Barclays or Vodafone); “Description of Security” – Security Description (i.e. ORD GBP1 or ORD USD0.10); “Words” - Number of Shares in Words; “Figures” - Number of Shares in Figures; “In the name(s) of” – Please enter your FULL name and address, exactly as it appears on your certificate; “Please Sign Here” – All of the registered holders of the certificate need to Sign the Form.You can leave the rest of the form as it is and we will take care of the rest. Remember to return your certificate with the transfer form.

Perfect, thanks so much for that.

Just so I'm clear then, I apply for a 'Nominee' account, once successful I just complete the form and send along with my certificate?

Sorry if I'm being thick, all somewhat foreign to me.

Thanks again

Yes, open the account and then fill out the forms
