A simple service, the traditional way, over the phone or by post.
Certificated Share Dealing
Due to the coronavirus pandemic we’re experiencing unprecedented demand and as a result we've made changes to make sure we can continue to maintain our service for all clients.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Important information - Please remember that the value of investments, and any income from them, can fall as well as rise so you could get back less than you invest. If you are unsure of the suitability of your investment please seek financial advice.
Buy and sell share certificates
You can buy and sell share certificates quickly and easily with us. Deal over the phone, or by post, with easy access to UK shares. You’ll still hold your own certificates, and enjoy any shareholder perks.

How much does it cost?
There’s a minimum charge of £20. All deals have an additional £20 handling charge. A 0.5% stamp duty applies if you buy UK shares. For trades over £10,000, there’s a £1 Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (PTM) Levy.
