I have some shares in BP I bought online (H&L) and also some shares in BP that were transferred to me from someone else (I get sent certificates through the post) How do I 'consolidate' the two so that I can continue to purchase dividends?

If I understand your question correctly......

When you bought the BP shares yourself through H&L online, chances are H&L would have opened a nominee share dealing account for you (if you didn't receive a share certificate for them) in which case contact H&L and tell them you also have a certificated holding of BP shares, and that you want to consolidate the two.
Normally how it works is - you will have to send the share certificate in to them and they can then place them in to your nominee account (which means that the shares are held electronically, no share cert).

I don't use H&L myself but have a nominee share dealing account with X-O.co.uk, and with X-O if you hold certificated shares you can send the share certificate to them and they will place the shares in to your nominee account, if/when dividends are paid the money goes in to your nominee account (cash balance) this money can then be re-invested or withdrawn as you wish.

Example of how it works with X-O.co.uk: How do I transfer in stock that I hold in the form of certificates?
(I'm sure H&L have a similar option for their clients too).

you understood my question perfectly, thank you :money:

Dear MSE and friends

Can anyone recommend the best (easiest and cheapest) means of disposing of a portfolio of shares?

My mother has approx £10k of paper certificates made up of dribs and drabs built up over the years by my late father. These include whitbread, aviva, santander etc. I think there are about five or six companies held.

She would not be looking to reinvest in shares and simply wants to get rid in one go with the minimum fuss and cost. Any suggestions??

Easiest would be to go to the bank and sell them but that will be costly.

So with a little bit of effort (for me it was very easy & straight forward opening a share dealing account with X-O) you could use someone like X-O.co.uk for a cheaper method of selling the share certificates and save yourself some money.

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.

X-O.co.uk share dealing services (£5.95 per trade) -

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

I own a small amount of Santander Shares (which were originally Alliance and Leicester shares but were converted when that BS was acquired by Santander). I would like to sell them and wonder if anyone could advise me as to the most cost effective way of doing so? I asked Santander but it all looks very complex from the lengthy document they sent and there is also some issues with Spanish Witholding Tax that I don't understand either.

Please HELP!!!

Do you hold these shares in the form of a Share Certificate in your own name?

If so there are basically two ways of selling the shares:

1. A 'Certificated Sale' done with someone like TD Direct Investing.

See the video Trading Demo at: http://www.tddirectinvesting.co.uk/tools-research/tools/trading-demo/.

Look out for the term in the video when the box opens that says "T+10(Certificate Sale)"

2. Opening an account with an 'Execution Only' dealer such as http://www.x-o.co.uk

See: http://www.x-o.co.uk/how_to_use.htm
Look at example No.5. "How do I transfer in stock that I hold in the form of certificates?"

Im looking at buying 1k's worth of shares in a specific company, already know who.

I am planning on buying and leaving it for a good while, meaning possibly years... unless it suddenly goes to high to resist selling. I have looked into it a little and it seems to be quite costly to leave shares sitting inactive, what would be the most cost effective way of doing this please?
