I'm not an idiot honest however I'm finding it hard to understand how to sell shares.
Ive never bought shares but I have shares from an employee share save scheme. I have paper certificates and now need to sell them to pay to repair a hole in the roof! I have done some reading on line but I'm grappling to understand the (best) way to sell shares.
My basic understanding is that I can open an electronic account or do a one off sale? I'm confused though on what the lead time is on setting up an account, how the share price at the point of sale is fixed, how quickly money is transferred. Can anyone give me a simple account of my options and the pros and cons?
Thank you!
