We Buy Your Gold

Trusted gold, silver and platinum valuations in the comfort of your own home, arranged at your convenience. Enjoy a secure, private service and instant bank transfer for any items you choose to sell.

Evaluate Your Assets with Confidence

You may be holding valuable assets without even realising it. Old jewellery, inherited pieces, single earrings, broken chains, or items you simply no longer wear can all hold significant value in gold, silver, or platinum. Rather than leaving them tucked away in a drawer, a private valuation allows you to understand exactly what you have.

Meeting with The Gold Standard is straightforward, discreet, and entirely at your convenience. There is no obligation to sell, simply the opportunity to receive a clear, honest assessment in the comfort of your own home, so you can make an informed decision about items that may be worth more than you think.

Why This May Be an Ideal Time to Sell

Gold is currently commanding exceptional market values, making this an opportune moment to reassess items that are no longer worn or used. Pieces sitting in a drawer could represent a meaningful financial asset when evaluated under today’s favourable conditions.

Market peaks rarely last indefinitely. Periods of rapid growth are often followed by correction, which is why many choose to act while values remain strong. A private valuation allows you to understand your options and make a well-timed, informed decision.

There is also an environmental benefit to consider. Recycling precious metals reduces the demand for new mining, helping to lessen the environmental impact associated with extraction. Selling unused items is not only financially sensible, but also a more sustainable choice.

Realise Your Assets at Their Peak.

With precious metals reaching historic highs, now is the opportune time to turn unused jewellery or bullion into liquidity. We provide an open-book valuation based on real-time London market rates.

Discretion as a Standard, Not an Afterthought.

We understand that for many of our clients, the primary barrier to selling gold is the "publicity" of the transaction. High-street shops and branded commercial vehicles turn a private asset valuation into a local spectacle.

At The Gold Standard, we have designed our entire process to protect your privacy. By conducting valuations exclusively within the sanctuary of your home and arriving in discreet, unbranded private cars, we remove the "social friction" of selling precious metals. Our hallmark is a service that is seen by you, but unnoticed by the world. It is the most trusted, private, and secure way to unlock the value in your assets.

Testimonials

Find out what our customers have to say about their experience with us…

"I had a box of my late aunt’s gold sitting in the cupboard for years. I knew it was valuable, but the idea of walking into town with it made me so nervous that I just kept putting it off."

"The Gold Standard came to me. The consultant, Mark, was so respectful and professional. He valued it all at my kitchen table, and seeing the money hit my account instantly was such a relief. I used the funds to take my daughters on a weekend away, something my aunt would have loved."

Maggie


"Between work and the kids, I don't have time to breathe, let alone find a reputable gold dealer and park in the city centre. My jewellery was just taking up space."

"TGS booked me in for a Sunday afternoon. No driving, no queuing, and no stress. It was so nice to be treated like a person rather than a number. The 'instant transfer' is real, the notification popped up on my phone before the consultant had even left. Truly the most convenient service I've used."
