The Postal Share Dealing Service is offered to shareholders with a registered address within the UK or European Economic Area (EEA), to sell shares in certain companies for whom Equiniti maintains the share register.
Sale proceeds can only be issued by cheque in pound sterling.
What do I need to sell my shares?
Firstly check the list of companies that offer the Postal Share Dealing Service to ensure you can use this selling option.
Your Share Certificate
Have you lost it? We may still be able to sell your shares, as long as the value of the missing certificate(s) is below £5000 and you are selling the entire holding. An additional fee of £50 will be deducted from the Sale proceeds. Please refer to the 'Essential Information' section on the Postal Share Dealing form for full information and fees.
You need to make sure your details (e.g. Address or name) are up to date.
If your details need updating, we can do this without any delays to your sale. An additional fee of £60 will be deducted from the sales proceeds. Please refer to the 'Essential Information' section on the Postal Share Dealing form for full information and fees. You can avoid the additional charge by updating your details before submitting your sale instruction.
Please note, if you use both the Lost Share Certificate service and the register update service, you will only be charged one amount of £60 in addition to the dealing fees.

Day 1 – Postal Share Dealing form received into the business and application processed.
Day 2 – Shares are traded the next business day after receipt into the business.

What to do if you sell shares as part of an Estate
If the sole shareholder or one of the joint shareholders has died, the death will need to be formally confirmed before the Postal Share Dealing service can be used to sell the shares. This can be done at the same time as submitting the Postal Share Dealing Form, with a fee of £50 being deducted from the sale proceeds. Full details can be found in the ‘Essential Information' section of the Postal Share Dealing Form. This additional charge can be avoided if you formally confirm the death before submitting your sale instruction.
Once the shares have been transferred to the beneficiary, shares can also be traded via our Shareview Dealing service
