I have some shares that current circumstances dictate I need to sell.
They are from an ex employee share scheme, not held within an isa.
I am looking for some advice as to how to sell them. They are a ftse 100 co and I have the paper share Certs issued by equiniti.
I do have a stock & share is a with fidelity but their website seems to be set up for regular dealing. I just need a one off sale.
The cash value is around £700.
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks x

    You could use someone like X-O.co.uk share dealing services (£5.95 per trade) for a cheap method of selling the shares.

    Open a Share Dealing account with X-O.co.uk (free to open and no annual account charges) then transfer your share certificates in to your account and sell them for £5.95 per share holding.

    How do I transfer in stock that I hold in the form of certificates?
