The value of gold tends to increase during periods of economic uncertainty, and this is what we've experienced over the past few years.

Geo-political instability can have a big impact on the value of gold and it's fair to say we've seen our fair share of disagreements and conflicts around the world.

At this point in time, the bullion market value of a 1kg gold bar sits at £92,655.00. This is the live 'spot' price for a 1 kilo bar, so if you refresh this page in a couple of minutes and you're reading this during trading hours, the value will update.

When selling a kilo bar to a dealer, it's important to note that you're unlikely to achieve the full spot value. The dealer will need to make their margin, so you'll be offered a percentage below this.

As you can see, Gold Traders operates in a transparent fashion. We've published the live value and we're open with our buy price. If you'd like to sell your bar, give us a call to firm up on the deal.

No problem. We test all items using non-destructive methods like XRF (X-ray fluorescence) to verify purity and authenticity before making an offer. With larger-sized bars, we may need to drill a bar in certain instances, but we would discuss this with you prior to doing so.

Yes. While original packaging is preferred, it's not required. We base our offer on metal content and weight, not packaging.

Subject to you giving us timely authorisation of payment, we will pay you on the day of receipt (Monday to Friday). 

As gold bullion is exempt from UK VAT, there are no applicable taxes at the point of purchase.

However, investors should note that gold bars are liable for Capital Gains Tax at the point of sale, if you exceed your capital gains threshold within your tax year and you make a profit on the sale.

The premium above spot price that a dealer will charge for a 1kg gold bar will vary according to supply and demand.

Broadly speaking, buying pre-owned bars carries the lowest premiums, which can sometimes be around 1%. Expect to pay a much higher percentage over spot for new bars.

If you are local, we would happily sell you a 1kg gold bar. Subject to successful ID verification and payment via bank transfer, your gold bar will be available for collection from our secure counter within 3 working days.

The live market (spot) price of gold is currently £92.66 per gram. 

Gold is traded internationally almost 24 hours a day, with the price fluctuating all the time. 

As we're not financial advisors, we can't offer you advice. However, we can give you some facts surrounding gold bar investment.

When investing in gold bullion there are two primary choices:

  • investing in gold bars
  • investing in gold coins

Potential investors must always remember that the sale of gold bars are subject to Capital Gains Tax (if you make a profit on their sale and you go over your annual CGT threshold).

The key difference wth UK issued gold coins (primarily Sovereigns and Britannias) is these coins are exempt from Capital Gains Tax.

Therefore, if you're a UK resident, whilst the margin you pay when buying a gold bar may be lower, you might be better off investing in UK issued gold coins.

Yes, it's very straightforward and payment will be issued same day.

Due to the size of the transaction there are few mandatory verification checks we have to complete prior to completing the sale, but it's very straightforward. If you're visiting us, please remember to bring your photo ID driving license, or your passport and a recent bank statement.
