Chigwell is one of Essex's most exclusive and sought-after villages, known for its beautiful homes, affluent residents and high standards in everything from dining to property. At 888 Bullion, we offer a gold and silver buying service that reflects those same standards — premium, discreet and delivering the best possible return for your precious metals.
We are Hatton Garden specialists with over 40 years of experience, and we regularly work with clients from Chigwell and the surrounding area who hold significant collections of gold jewellery, bullion and silver. Our fully insured postal service — and our ability to arrange bespoke collection for high-value items — means selling your precious metals is as convenient and private as you would expect from a service of this calibre.
We pay up to 98% of the live spot price for gold and silver. For Chigwell sellers with substantial holdings, that difference compared to a local buyer can run into thousands of pounds.
We purchase all types of gold, silver, platinum and palladium in any condition or quantity. Our buying team regularly acquires:
Every item is assessed individually using professional XRF testing equipment and live market data. You will always receive a transparent valuation with a clear explanation of how we arrived at your price, and we are always happy to discuss our assessment in detail.
Chigwell residents are accustomed to dealing with professionals who take their work seriously. At 888 Bullion, we bring that same level of professionalism to every transaction. From the moment you contact us to the moment payment arrives in your bank account, every step is handled with precision, care and complete discretion.
We regularly pay up to 98% of the live spot price for gold and silver — a level of return that most local buyers simply cannot match. Our in-house refining operation allows us to process precious metals sustainably and efficiently, repurposing quality gold into new jewellery and bullion products rather than simply scrapping it. This reduces our costs and allows us to share a far greater proportion of the value with the people who sell to us.
We also back every transaction with a best-price guarantee. If you have a genuine written offer from any buyer, we will beat it.
We understand that for many Chigwell residents, privacy is paramount when selling high-value precious metals. All transactions with 888 Bullion are handled with complete confidentiality. Your personal details and the details of your sale are never shared with third parties, and our postal service means your transaction never needs to take place in a public setting.
For particularly high-value or sensitive consignments, we can arrange bespoke collection directly from your Chigwell address. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
Once your items have been assessed at our Hatton Garden office, we aim to transfer payment to your UK bank account within 2 hours. Every customer receives payment within 24 hours of us receiving their items, without exception. We pay by bank transfer only — fast, secure and completely traceable.
For standard consignments, pack your gold or silver carefully and send it to our Hatton Garden office using Royal Mail Special Delivery, which automatically insures your parcel up to £2,500 during transit. For items worth more than £2,500, please contact us before sending so we can arrange additional insurance cover or a bespoke collection service.

Yes. We regularly work with Chigwell clients selling substantial collections of gold jewellery, bullion bars, coins and silver. For large consignments, we can arrange bespoke insured collection and provide detailed documentation for each item, which is particularly useful for insurance or probate purposes.
We buy gold and silver based on their precious metal content. High-end or luxury jewellery contains the same gold per gram as any other piece of the same carat, and we pay accordingly. If your pieces have additional value as luxury or designer items, we would recommend also consulting a specialist pre-owned luxury goods dealer.
