They have an execute only facility. I've not found anyone more efficient or cheaper to be honest.

Online or phone, dead easy. £9.95 online or £15 via phone. See about six items down on the link.

Think you will need the Share Certificate Number to sell the shares and will need to send off the certificate once the shares are sold. You need to agree the price before selling.....but then you know that.

HSBC are doing share dealing for £5.97 a time at the moment. If you open a current account with them you can then open an on-line share dealing account with them and transfer your certificates over to them. Once this is done, you can agree a sale price, and when that price is reached you'll get settlement within 3 days.
