The Process

How It Works

A clear, professional 5-step process — designed to feel safe whether you sell from home or in person.

  1. 01

    Get an estimated valuation

    Use the HighStreetGold valuation calculator or request a clear market-linked quote based on current gold conditions.

  2. 02

    Choose how to sell

    Send your gold securely by post — or visit a trusted HighStreetGold location in person.

  3. 03

    Professional testing & valuation

    Your gold is tested and weighed using transparent, customer-facing methods by a qualified valuer.

  4. 04

    Receive your formal offer

    An itemised, fully transparent offer is issued. Accept it, or have your items returned free of charge.

  5. 05

    Get paid quickly

    Same working day payment by secure bank transfer once your offer is accepted.

Secure Postal Gold Service

Send your gold securely — the way you choose.

If you're happy with your valuation estimate, you can request a prepaid tracked Royal Mail Special Delivery pack, or send your items independently using secure tracked delivery.
