3. Receiving Your Gold
We can either deliver your gold directly to you, via our complimentary insured, tracked, and signed for delivery service, collect it directly from our office by appointment, or you can choose to have your gold safely stored in our fully insured vault.
4. Selling Your Gold
As and when you decide to sell your gold, we will buy back your bullion Bars and Coins, at a highly competitive price.
There are 3 ways to own physical bullion.
We exclusively stock investment-grade bullion of the highest quality and above 90% purity, which is thereby exempt from VAT in the UK.
Bullion gold bars
Suitable for investors looking to purchase large amounts of gold. While easier to store, gold bars offer less flexibility and greater illiquidity than gold coins. Gold bars are produced by private mints. They do not qualify as legal tender and are thus subject to CGT.
Bullion gold coins
Ideal for investors who anticipate selling part of or their entire portfolio in the short to medium term. Gold coins typically offer far greater flexibility of purchase and liquidity than gold bars. All the gold coins that we offer are produced by a sovereign government’s mint, carrying the status of legal tender. As a result, gold coins are exempt from both VAT and CGT.
Graded gold coins
Ungraded coins carry a level of risk as there is no guarantee of grade, condition, or authenticity. All the gold coins that we offer are produced by a sovereign government’s mint, and carry the status of legal tender. As a result, gold coins are exempt from both VAT and CGT.
Gold prices rise during times of economic uncertainty.
Throughout the 21st century, a few trends have been clearly and consistently established when property and stocks underperform, the price of gold rises, as investors and institutions turn to gold as an “insurance policy” to recoup losses realised on other investments.
Ask any investor who suffered during the Financial Crisis of 2007/2008.
They will most likely acknowledge that, looking back, 2007 would have been a great time to invest in gold. The price of gold has almost trebled since before the financial crisis, rising from £452 to around £1500 today.

Should I buy gold coins or bars?
Whilst essentially a personal preference, there are certain established advantages of coins vs. bars, and vice versa. Whilst the significantly larger size of Gold Bullion bars makes them a superior choice for holding large quantities of gold, Gold Bullion coins remain by far a more popular option for individual investors.
When should I invest in precious metals?
A quick glance at the history of gold and a few trends are very clear: the price of gold begins to rise in times of economic distress and political unrest, when coupled with supply and demand issues like most markets the market tends to react.
