    Register with ShareDeal Active and you should be able to sell certificated shares for just £9.50.

    They actually change £19.50 for Certificated dealing, not £9.50 - and have some other charges that most other brokers don't have..

  • Hi, I was wondering if someone could give me some advice on how and where to sell my shares
    I currently hold 180 stagecoach shares. They are certificate shares which i have had for ages. I got them from stagecoach when i worked there.
    I dont really know much about the stock exchange and my understanding of it all is a bit vague

    thanx sarah

    If you open an account here http://www.h-l.co.uk/our-services/Transferring-shares and send them the certificate with the completed form you can sell them online as soon as they show on your account. The total charges for selling that amount of shares should be just £9.95.

    (Selftrade mentioned above are about to introduce a £40 pa account fee.)

    Yes, 1% is on the total selling price, so £5,000 worth of shares leaves you with £4,950. There is no stamp duty, that is only when you buy shares
