Loughton is one of Essex's most desirable addresses — a leafy, affluent town on the edge of Epping Forest with excellent connections to London and a strong sense of community. At 888 Bullion, we offer Loughton residents a gold and silver buying service that matches those high standards: professional, discreet and consistently delivering the best prices available in the UK.
We are Hatton Garden specialists with over 40 years of experience, and our fully insured postal service means you can sell your precious metals from home without any need to travel. We pay up to 98% of the live spot price for gold and silver, we use professional XRF technology to assess every item accurately and we pay the same day your items arrive with us.
For Loughton sellers with high-value collections or fine jewellery, the difference between selling to 888 Bullion and selling to a local buyer can be substantial. We are here to make sure you receive every penny your items are worth.
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.
Loughton's proximity to London means many residents are aware that Hatton Garden is the place to go for the best gold prices. What fewer people realise is that our fully insured postal service delivers those same Hatton Garden prices directly to Loughton — without the need to travel, park or queue.
We regularly pay up to 98% of the live spot price for gold and silver. Most local buyers pay between 50% and 70%. Our in-house refining operation is what makes this possible — we repurpose quality precious metals into new jewellery and bullion products rather than simply scrapping them, which 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 selling high-value precious metals is a matter many people prefer to handle privately. At 888 Bullion, all transactions are conducted with complete discretion. Your personal details and the details of your sale are never shared with third parties, and our postal service means you never need to discuss your items in a public setting.
Once your items arrive at our Hatton Garden office and have been assessed, 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.
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. Your valuables are fully protected from the moment they leave Loughton until they arrive safely with our team.

We value gold and silver based on their precious metal content, not their brand or designer origin. A piece of 18 carat gold from a luxury brand contains the same amount of gold per gram as an unbranded piece of the same carat. If your jewellery has significant value as a designer piece, we would recommend also consulting a specialist pre-owned luxury goods dealer alongside obtaining our valuation.
Yes. We are active buyers of gold bullion bars from private individuals, investors and collectors. We pay very close to the live spot price for investment-grade bullion and can handle both small and large quantities. For high-value bullion consignments, please contact us before sending so we can arrange appropriate insurance cover.
We take data privacy seriously. Your personal details are used solely to process your transaction and are never shared with third parties. All communications and transaction records are handled securely and in accordance with UK data protection law.

We value your items based on the live spot price at the time of assessment. If the price has risen between you sending your items and us receiving them, you benefit from the higher price. We always use the most current market price available at the time of testing.
