Selling shares

Options
I have shares i want to sell but at present I simply hold the physical share certificate and don't have a share dealing account. 

Once I sell these I wont have any remaining shares so don't really want to open a shared dealing account that has an annual fee that I'd pay for the year only to then close it as soon as the sale completes. 

Anyone know where I can sell the shares without excessive costs involved?

    Received letter today from Equiniti  with tender offer from Lloyds Bank Group Share Account to purchase preference shares. In a quandary what to do.

    I am also a bit confused as to how typistretired's Lloyds letter relates to dlk's share certificate sale or why these are in the same thread.

    Point me in the right direction then as I searched forum and this was only place that talked about shares

    Start your own new thread to ask a question, otherwise it simply creates confusion.

    General etiquette is to make your own thread to ask your own question in this section of the forum, however I appreciate there isn't really a "savings & investments forum etiquette" code anywhere.
    And this is far from the only thread that talks about this sort of thing, though again I appreciate the forum's search feature isn't the best. You could try manually skimming through the past... 10 pages or so.

    Okay have now created my own post in Savings and Investments. Surprised Martin hasn’t discussed it on his blog
