Mrs BB has a share certificate from her old employer, at current share price, it's £4.5k.

Looking into it, I can either sell the certificate directly, which cost fee's from most companies between £50-£75, or I can transfer into an online nomanee account, and then once it's an online balance, sell the shares that way.

Currently she has an account with Computershare, they don't charge for changing into online nomanee account, and charge 1% for certificate dealing, and £12.50 on a trading account.

I'm a little confused here, as if she is to transfer into online funds, does this become a trading account?

Any recommendations on the cheapest way to go around chasing these in?
