Common Questions
Everything you need
to know before you invest.
Can I buy gold at the spot price?
Physical gold carries a small premium that covers manufacturing, refining, and logistical costs. The spot price applies only to digital or paper-based gold trading, not to physical bullion.
Do your products come with certificates?
Certain gold bars are supplied with certificates of authenticity. Most coins are not issued with certificates unless they have been professionally graded by PCGS or NGC.
Do you offer storage?
We do not provide storage directly, although we can introduce you to trusted third-party storage providers if you require secure vaulting.
Do you buy back gold?
Yes. We are able to buy back gold bars and coins, including items not originally purchased from us. All items must undergo authentication, and this process may take up to three working days.
Where do your coins and bars come from?
More than 95% of our gold is sourced through The Royal Mint. Some bars may also originate from other LBMA accredited refiners.
Are there tax implications?
Gold bullion is VAT-free. British legal tender gold coins are exempt from Capital Gains Tax. Other metals may be subject to Capital Gains Tax depending on individual circumstances.
What are the risks?
Holding physical gold removes counterparty risk, although secure storage and appropriate insurance are strongly recommended to protect your assets.
Do you deliver internationally?
At present, our delivery service is limited to clients within the United Kingdom.
Is delivery included in the price?
Yes. Delivery is fully insured, included within the price, and requires a signature upon receipt.
How do I pay?
We accept all major debit and credit cards along with bank transfer. All payments are processed using FCA-compliant methods for your security. Cash payments are not accepted.
