If the share is quoted on the main London Stock Exchange market one broker will have been assigned to act as the Market Maker. That means that they are given preferential trading rights and in return they agree to act as a buyer when someone else wants to sell and the seller when someone else wants to buy.
You can't guarantee the price you will receive but there will always be someone there to buy them. As the last resort the Market Maker has to buy them off you.

If there is an active enough market for the shares, then there will be a buyer, but you may not always get the price you are looking for! When selling, make sure you use a limit order and mark your trade AON - All Or None. That means your whole order has to be sold at the price you indicate, or none of your shares are filled. Of course, this could mean that although your shares may trade at your price, you may not get filled. But what's life without a little risk?!
Also, there is supposed to be a buyer of exchange traded stocks, that's one of the functions of the specialist, to keep an open and liquid market and to buy stock when nobody else wants to. This is not the case with ECN or NASDAQ stocks.

If you want to make sure you can confidently sell shares that you buy, whether they have increased or decreased in price, you will have to make sure you are buying shares that are liquid enough. Being liquid means that the share is actively traded with high enough daily volume and a narrow bid ask spread.
In my opinion, a high volume is a daily volume of above 100,000 and a narrow bid ask spread means a bid ask spread of no more than $0.30.
As long as the share is liquid enough, there will always be someone who will buy the shares that you think is good enough profit for you. Remember, no 2 person in the stock market share the same ideas. At any one time, there will always be people who are selling a share because they think it has risen enough and people who continue to buy because they think the trend will continue to go on and that makes the market.
Hope this helps.

You apparently know little about investing. That's not an insult, just a fact.
The stock market is driven buy supply and demand. If the price has increased and there's an active "volume" of shares traded, you should be able to sell with no problem.
When you're finished with this purchase, stop investing. You need to take 6 moths to a year to understand what it's all about... or you're going to lose your money!

You will always find a buyer.
The problem is that if the Company is sought after because they are doing well the price will rise and you would be silly to sell unless you really needed the money.
When a company is not doing so well the price falls, someone will buy but at a low price. This is the gamble you take when you invest in the stock market.

No guarantee unless you are willing to hit the bid and sell
at any price. This is not a game for amateurs and you
should follow your broker‘s or Commission House‘s
advice. If you wish to play the market with lower risks,
go for the options, you can still win or loose but the risk
is lesser. Remember that your broker may make a margin
call if the market moves against you, unless you bought
shares outright and paid in full.

A common misconception is that you will have to be a financial and business expert in order to successfully trade binary options. However, this is not true at all. Learn here https://tr.im/ggSOK
Perhaps it’s true when it comes to traditional stocks trading but definitely not true in the case of binaries. You don’t have to be an expert to predict the movement of certain assets.

i have attended a lot of seminars, read counless books on forex trading and it all cost me thousands of dollars. the worst thing was i blew up my first account. after that i opened another account and the same thing happened again. i started to wonder why i couldn,t make any money in forex trading. at first i thought i knew everything about trading. finally i found that the main problem i have was i did not have the right mental in trading. as we know that psychology has great impact on our trading result. apart from psychology issue, there is another problem that we have to address. they are money management, market analysis, and entry/exit rules. to me money management is important in trading. i opened another account and start to trade profitably after i learnt from my past mistake. i don't trade emotionally anymore.
if you are serious about trading you need to address your weakness and try to fix it. no forex guru can make you Professional trader unless you want to learn from your mistake.

Yes a broker like Barclays Bank would but you have to sell them before they drop in price and you have to pay about £15 to the broker so take that into consideration too.
