You can sell your shares through our Shareview Dealing Service or through a stockbroker.

There are a variety of services available. Some take orders to buy or sell shares via the internet; others operate telephone or postal dealing services. Equiniti Financial Services Limited offers an execution only dealing service called Shareview Dealing that allows you to deal in shares online or by telephone.

The rates of commission depend on the kind of service you are looking for. The cheapest way to deal in shares is usually on an 'execution only' basis. This means that a broker will act on your instructions to buy or sell but will not give you advice on the merits of the transaction.

The value of shares and the income, if any, from them can go down as well as up.
