A word from our founder
Mike Jones

Most of the people I speak to are not looking for a clever investment. They are looking for something solid. They have worked hard, they have savings sitting in the bank earning very little, and they can see the cost of everything rising around them. What they want is simple: to protect what they have built and to pass it on intact.

Physical gold has done that job for centuries. It is not a product I invented or a scheme I am selling. It is a real asset you can hold, that has kept its value through every crisis, and that the UK allows you to own free of Capital Gains Tax when you buy the right coins.

My role is to explain it clearly, help you choose well and be here for the years afterwards. No pressure, no jargon and no rush. If gold is right for you, we will work that out together. If it is not, I will tell you.

Gold vs everything else.

How physical gold has compared, historically, with the places most people keep their money over the last 25 years. Past results, not a forecast.

Gold vs Cash ISA

Historical, 2000 to 2025

Cash ISA, annual return2.5%
Gold, annual change11.5%

Cash in an ISA has barely kept pace with inflation since 2000. Over the same period gold in pounds went from around £180 an ounce to more than £3,000.

Gold vs Stocks and Bonds

Historical, 2000 to 2025

FTSE 100, annual return4.1%
UK gilts, annual return4.5%
Gold, annual change11.5%

Shares can deliver strong returns but carry sharper falls. In uncertain periods gold has often held its value while other assets struggled.

Gold vs Property

Historical, 2000 to 2025

UK property, growth+250%
Gold, growth+1,400%

UK house prices rose around 250% between 2000 and 2025. Gold in pounds rose around 1,400% over the same period, with no maintenance, stamp duty, tenants or months waiting to sell.

All figures are historical, approximate and based on published data for 2000 to 2025. They are shown for information only and are not a forecast, a projection or a promise of future returns. Past performance is not a guide to future performance and the value of gold can fall as well as rise. Gold Tier Advisory does not provide financial advice.

Common questions

Before you buy

Is gold really free from Capital Gains Tax?

Yes, for UK legal-tender coins. Britannias, Sovereigns and the other coins we sell are sterling currency, so any gain when you sell is exempt from Capital Gains Tax. Investment gold is also free of VAT. Tax treatment depends on your circumstances and we do not give tax advice, so if you are holding a larger amount it is worth checking with your accountant.

I have never bought gold before. How does it work?

Most of our clients are buying for the first time. Call us, WhatsApp us or book a time and we will talk it through at your pace, with no obligation. We explain which coins suit you, quote a firm price linked to the gold market that day and arrange insured delivery. Every coin on the website shows a live price, so you can browse before you call.

Do I actually receive the gold? Is delivery safe?

Yes. Every coin is delivered to your door by fully insured, tracked and signed-for private courier, discreetly packaged, usually within 3 to 5 working days of cleared payment. If you prefer, you can collect from our London office once your order is ready, and if you would rather not keep gold at home we can help arrange fully insured vault storage. Your gold is allocated to your order and removed from available stock the moment payment clears.

What if I want to sell it later?

We buy back everything we supply, including NGC and PCGS graded coins, at a fair, live market price whenever you decide to sell. We also buy gold coins, bars and other items that were not originally purchased from us. Britannias and Sovereigns are recognised worldwide, so they are easy to sell to us or to any dealer. Call us and we will quote on the day.
