Sell Gold Bars Online, The Easy Way

If your items exceed the £2,500 insurance limit on a single Gold Selling Pack, you can simply order multiple packs and split your items across them, keeping each parcel within the insured threshold. If you have a single item that exceeds £2,500 on its own, please contact us before sending it in and we'll arrange a tailored, fully insured collection to suit its value.

We are the only UK gold buyer that continuously monitors the wider market. Our Live Price Checker™ compares what 60+ other UK buyers are paying every day, so we consistently pay more than the collective average. We refine gold directly with no middlemen, and in the rare event you have received a higher valuation elsewhere, our price match guarantee means we will match it or beat it.

No problem at all. Your gold bars are returned free and fully insured whenever you would prefer to keep them. You are never under any obligation, and you are never charged a penny to have your items back.

Yes. We are the only gold buyer in the UK to provide live updates via both email and SMS at every stage of your journey, from the Post Office counter to our secure vault, through to your valuation and payment. You'll always know exactly where your gold is and what's happening next.

The most efficient route is a dedicated postal gold buyer. We post you a free, fully insured Royal Mail Special Delivery pack, triple XRF test your bars on arrival, and send a same day valuation. If you accept, payment lands in your bank within minutes via Faster Payments. Changed your mind? We post your gold bars back to you fully insured in exactly the same way they reached us, as there is never an obligation to sell.

You do not need a local buyer. We cover the whole of the UK by post, sending you a free, fully insured envelope to drop your gold bars into and return to us via your local Post Office. Once they arrive, our specialists carry out an in depth precious metal analysis and send you a valuation the same day. Most sellers find this faster, safer, and more competitive than driving out to a high street buyer.

Dedicated gold buyers, refiners, and specialist bullion dealers. High street jewellers and pawnbrokers will also buy them but rarely at competitive rates, and banks no longer offer this service to the public. We are an HMRC supervised postal gold buyer benchmarking our payouts against over 60 UK gold buyers daily.

No, UK banks no longer offer this service to the public. Send your bars to us instead and we will handle the whole process by post, fully insured, with a same day valuation and payment landing in your account within minutes of acceptance.

Yes. Every bar that reaches us is tested and verified the same way regardless of whether the original assay certificate is present, so a missing certificate is not an issue and will not affect your valuation.

No, physical gold bars are generally subject to Capital Gains Tax on any profit made above your annual CGT allowance. The CGT exemption applies only to UK legal tender coins such as Britannias and Sovereigns. Gold bars, regardless of size or mint, fall outside that exemption.

Partially. Investment grade gold bars (995.0 fine or higher) are VAT exempt in the UK, which is a meaningful saving on purchase. However, any gain on resale is subject to Capital Gains Tax above your annual allowance, unlike UK legal tender coins, which are fully CGT exempt.

Yes, provided they meet HMRC's definition of investment gold, which is a purity of 995.0 (99.5%) or higher. The vast majority of investment grade bars from recognised mints comfortably meet this standard and are sold and resold VAT free in the UK.

Investment grade bars from recognised refiners are almost always issued with a unique serial number stamped onto the bar itself. Cast bars and older ingots, by their nature, are not always serial numbered, but the vast majority of modern investment gold is.

Modern investment grade bars from recognised refiners are typically stamped or laser etched with a unique serial number that matches the number on the accompanying assay certificate. Cast bars and older ingots are not always serial numbered, as the format of the bar does not always lend itself to it, but the vast majority of investment gold is.
