Sell Gold Bars in the UK

The value of an investment gold bar is primarily determined by its weight, purity and the current gold price.

For example, a 100g bar containing 999.9 fine gold contains considerably more pure gold than a 10g bar, so its underlying bullion value is correspondingly higher.

The price a dealer can pay for a bar will not necessarily be identical to the spot value of its gold. The final buyback price can also reflect market conditions, demand for the particular bar and the costs associated with verifying and reselling physical bullion.

You can check the underlying live gold price before contacting us for a firm quote.

Physical Gold buys investment-grade gold bars across a range of sizes and from recognised bullion refiners.

This includes commonly traded bars from established manufacturers such as Metalor and other recognised refiners.

You can also contact us about gold bars that were not originally purchased from Physical Gold. We will need to verify the bar before completing the transaction, and the price we can offer will depend on the individual bullion and current market conditions.

If you are unsure whether we can buy your particular gold bar, call 020 7060 9992 before sending it to us.

Some investment gold bars are supplied in sealed packaging with assay information or certificates, while others are not.

If you still have the original packaging or documentation, keep it with the bar and let us know when requesting a price.

If packaging or documentation is missing, contact our team before sending the bullion. We can explain whether we are able to purchase the bar and what verification may be required.

If your gold bars are already held in Physical Gold’s secure storage, you do not need to arrange for them to be delivered back to us before selling.

Contact our team to obtain a live price and initiate the sale. You will then need to complete the relevant selling form and return it to info@physicalgold.com.

Because the bullion is already held within the storage facility, the sale can proceed without you having to transport the physical gold yourself.

For more information about how our storage service operates, see gold delivery and secure storage.

Physical Gold offers a Buyback Guarantee on qualifying gold bullion originally purchased from us.

We promise to repurchase gold bullion sold by Physical Gold, regardless of how much time has passed since the original purchase.

This means that if you subsequently decide to sell some or all of the qualifying gold you purchased from us, you can return to Physical Gold to obtain a buyback price.

The amount offered will depend on the gold price and prevailing market conditions at the time of sale.

If you’re considering purchasing gold and would like to understand the buying side of the process, browse our range of gold bars.

Do not send your gold to us before obtaining and agreeing a live price.

Once the sale has been confirmed, we’ll provide instructions explaining how your bullion should be sent or brought to us.

Gold bars sent to us should be appropriately packaged and sent using the agreed insured delivery method. If you would prefer to bring your gold in person, speak to our team beforehand to arrange this.

Once received, the bars will be checked and verified before the sale is completed.

You don’t necessarily need to sell your entire gold holding at once.

If you own several individual gold bars, you can choose how many you wish to sell. This is one reason some investors choose to hold several smaller bars rather than a single larger bar of equivalent overall value.

If you’re unsure how much of your holding you want to sell, you can obtain an indicative valuation for the individual bars before deciding which ones to include in the sale.

If you have gold bars to sell, check the indicative prices above and then contact Physical Gold to obtain a firm live price.

Call 020 7060 9992 to agree and lock in your price before sending or bringing your gold to us.

If your gold is already stored with Physical Gold, email info@physicalgold.com to begin the selling process.
