Hi, Just hoping the combined knowledge of pistonheads could help me with a slight problem.

I have some Commonwealth Bank of Australia shares that I wish to sell. They have to be sold on the Australian stock exchange.

As I'm in the UK I'm finding it difficult to do this on the net or to find a UK broker that will do this by phone.

Can anyone make any suggestions or recommend an easy way to do this.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks,

I've just downloaded their form to sell them but unfortunately my registered address would need to be in Australia to do this.
Thanks anyway.

Thanks everyone for your help. I eventually found a firm in Australia who conducted the sale and transferred the money in sterling to my UK bank account.There was quite a bit of paperwork to fill in though however I was very pleased with their service.

If anyone else is in the same boat, I can recommend the firm, Hartley's (no they don't make jam) of Perth in Australia.

Not sure if I'm allowed to give a link for them (mods please delete this paragraph if you must) I have no connection with them other than I've just sold my shares through them. www.hartleys.com.au
