Homepage    How to Buy & Sell Gold

How easy is it to buy gold?

Buying gold is generally very simple. If you are in London, you can come into our offices and purchase gold over the counter. Our offices are open for trading Monday to Friday from 9.30am to 4.30 pm. Payment can be made by cash, or by debit card. We do ask that you bring some form of ID with you.

It is also very easy to purchase by post. For smaller purchases, we will fix a price over the telephone and you may either pay by cheque or by debit card. Debit card payments are subject to a security check and can only be sent to the billing address on your card. We send your purchase to you by Special delivery as soon as we have cleared funds and it is fully insured until you receive it. We do not accept credit cards for purchases of Bullion coins because of the commission involved.

If you are purchasing over £5000 worth of gold in one transaction, or your purchases exceed £10000 in the course of a year, then you have to supply us with proof of ID to comply with HM Customs and Excise legislation. We must retain on file a copy of your passport and a copy of a utilities bill showing your home address. We do not pass on any of this information, but it can be inspected by Customs should they wish to do so.

How easy is it to sell gold?

Again, the process is very simple. You can either bring your gold into our offices with some form of identification or send it by Special Delivery through the Post Office, enclosing a daytime telephone number. We will telephone you on receipt with an up to date price and send you a cheque by return if the price is acceptable. If you decide not to sell for any reason, we will be happy to return it to you.
