Simple Steps for Selling in London or Online
Most sellers begin by checking the latest Scrap Gold Calculator or moving directly to a dedicated service page for bars, coins, silver, platinum, or palladium.
From there, you can decide whether to visit the Hatton Garden showroom or use the postal selling option if you are outside London or prefer to start remotely.
Testing, No-Obligation Offers & Payment
Items may be weighed, inspected, or tested using XRF/X-ray technology before an offer is confirmed. You are under no obligation to sell if you do not want to proceed. Payment is typically arranged by cash or bank transfer — smaller transfers can be instant, while some may take up to 24 to 48 hours depending on the bank and amount.
Understand Live Rates Before You Sell
The gold price per gram is an important starting point, but sellers also compare metal type, item type, weight, purity, and whether they are selling scrap gold, bullion bars, gold coins, silver, platinum, or palladium.
What Affects the Price When You Sell Gold or Precious Metals?
Many sellers begin with a live Scrap Gold Value Calculator, but the final value also depends on the type of item you are selling and the relevant current market rate.
Jewellery, scrap gold, bars, coins, silver items, platinum, and palladium can each follow slightly different valuation routes. That is why the homepage gives fast access to the main calculator pages and service pages before you decide how to proceed.

How Items Are Tested
Depending on the item, valuation may include visual inspection, weighing, and non-destructive XRF/X-ray testing to confirm metal type and purity. Some mixed lots, plated-looking items, or pieces with stones may need acid testing before an offer can be confirmed. If a more involved test is needed, the team can explain the valuation route before you decide whether to proceed.
For larger or compliance-sensitive transactions, identification may be requested. If needed, use the ID submission page or contact the team before visiting. Once you are happy to proceed, payment can be arranged by cash or bank transfer in line with current policy.

Is today a good day to sell my gold?
Gold prices move throughout the day, so many sellers check live rates first and compare them with their own timing and selling goals before deciding.

Offers are based on live market-linked rates at the time your items are valued, so sellers usually check the current price first and then choose the best time to visit.

If you want to discuss refining eligible scrap into fine gold, use the Gold Refining page or contact the team before visiting.

Yes. Items may be weighed, examined, or tested before an offer is confirmed so they can be matched to the correct valuation route.
What happens if my jewellery contains stones?
Tell the team before valuation if your item contains diamonds or gemstones so the correct assessment route can be used.
Is white gold valued differently from yellow gold?
The gold value is usually based mainly on weight and purity, so colour alone is not normally the deciding factor.

What should I do before I visit?
Many sellers first check live rates, separate their items by type, review whether ID may be needed, and contact the team if they are unsure which route fits their items.
Do you buy branded or designer jewellery?
Some branded or designer pieces may need a different valuation route. Mention branded or designer items before pricing begins so the team can confirm the right process.
Is the gold price the same in-store as it would be online?
Rates are based on the live gold market price at the time of the transaction. Checking the current rate through the gold price calculator before visiting gives you a reliable indication of what to expect in-store.

Yes. London Gold Centre supports both private sellers and trade customers. If you have a larger or commercial lot to sell, contact the team before visiting to discuss the best route and process for your items.
