Surrey is one of England's most prosperous and picturesque counties — a place of leafy commuter towns, historic market towns and some of the most desirable real estate in the country. At 888 Bullion, we offer Surrey residents a gold and silver buying service that matches the county's high standards: professional, discreet and consistently delivering the best possible return for your precious metals.
Whether you are in Guildford, Woking, Reigate, Epsom, Farnham, Esher, Dorking or anywhere else across Surrey, our fully insured postal service gives you direct access to Hatton Garden prices without leaving home. We pay up to 98% of the live spot price for gold and silver, we assess every item using professional XRF technology and we pay the same day your items arrive with us.
Surrey's affluence means many residents hold significant collections of fine jewellery, investment bullion and inherited precious metals. We are here to ensure that when the time comes to sell, you receive every penny those 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.
Surrey has a well-developed network of local gold buyers, from jewellers in Guildford's high street to cash-for-gold shops in Woking and Redhill. But the presence of competition does not guarantee fair prices. Most local buyers across Surrey pay between 50% and 70% of the live market value for gold and silver.
At 888 Bullion, we regularly pay up to 98%. 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. For Surrey sellers with high-value collections, the difference can run into thousands of pounds.
We also back every transaction with a best-price guarantee. If you have a genuine written offer from any buyer in Surrey, we will beat it.
We understand that selling high-value precious metals is a matter many Surrey residents prefer to handle privately. All transactions with 888 Bullion 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 your transaction never needs to take place in a public setting.
For particularly high-value consignments, we can arrange bespoke collection directly from your Surrey address. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
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.

Yes. Surrey's countryside and equestrian community often holds gold and silver accumulated over many years — from inherited family jewellery to bullion purchased as a long-term store of value. We buy all types of precious metals regardless of their origin or history, and our postal service is available from every corner of the county including its most rural areas.
That depends on the piece. We value gold and silver based on their precious metal content, which is the same regardless of the brand. However, certain luxury or designer pieces may have significant resale value above their metal content through specialist pre-owned luxury goods dealers. We would recommend obtaining our valuation as a baseline and then comparing it with any specialist resale estimates before making your decision.
Yes. We regularly work with people who are selling precious metals ahead of an international move. Our process is fast and straightforward, and we can complete the entire transaction well within the timescales most people need when preparing to relocate.
Investment-grade bullion — such as gold bars and recognised bullion coins — is typically very close to pure gold (99.9% or 99.99%) and is priced very close to the live spot price. Jewellery is usually made from gold alloys of lower purity (9ct, 18ct, 22ct) and is valued based on its actual gold content. Both are purchased at very competitive rates, and we provide a full breakdown of how we calculated the value of each item.
Yes. We regularly work with trustees, executors and solicitors managing estates and trusts across Surrey. We can handle large quantities of mixed precious metals and provide detailed documentation for each transaction, which is essential for probate, tax and legal purposes. Please contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
