Selling Share Certificates
You can sell UK share certificates by calling us on 08457 22 55 25.

When you call us you will need your certificate at hand as our agent will require you to quote details directly from the certificate. We will also ask you to confirm relevant security information before we can send out the paperwork to you. Please return your certificate to us along with this paperwork.

If you are selling a certificate worth more than £25,000, you will need to send in a Crest Transfer Form with your certificate before you deal. We recommend that you send your certificate and Crest Transfer Form in by Special or Recorded delivery.
