Sale of coin
I was out of my comfort zone trying to sell a gold coin. After a google search I phoned British Bullion, an appointment made, a friendly and professional conversation was had, a deal done and the money in my account within 2 working days. A problem free process.

Good service
Good service, friendly and polite. Though it would be good if actually allowed to properly take a look at the bullion properly and be allowed to hold it

It all went very smoothly, but relying on trust to receive the payment was slightly stressful. Immediate or same day transfers should be available

No surprises transaction. Would use again.
British Bullion (Newcastle) did not offer the best rate when I was looking to sell my gold bullion. Nor did they provide details of how they arrived at the offer they made. Others offered up to 2.5% more against the live gold price. However, for personal reasons it suited me to sell to a local dealer rather than sending gold bars through the mail or courier.
The staff were professional and, with the exception of not clarifying how their payment was calculated, were clear about each aspect of the transaction.
British Bullion are slow to make their payment for the gold, quoting 7 to 9 business days (up to 2 weeks) when we left the gold at their premises. The cash arrived after 6 business days. In 2025 it should not take that long.
Update following reply:
The prices paid are determined by the spot gold price times a percentage. Some dealers offer up to 98%. British Bullion offered closer to 95.5%. To be clear, I was perfectly satisfied with the service and deal I received. I merely highlighted a couple of points from the transaction.

Many thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.
Our purchase prices are determined by the current spot price of gold. We remain highly competitive in the market and offer a face-to-face service for your convenience.
I’m pleased to hear that our staff clearly explained the process and timeframe during your appointment, helping you decide that our service suited your needs.
We pride ourselves on being transparent and always providing a realistic timeframe for payment. Due to recent volatility in the market, we have experienced a significant increase in business, which is why some payments have taken slightly longer than the usual 1–2 business days.
We look forward to welcoming you again.
Kind regards,
