In London today, buying gold is relatively easy, as this can be easily done through an online broker. Firstly, as a gold buyer, you need to be aware of the dos and don’ts of buying gold. There are certain advantages to buying gold online. Generally, online brokers build supply chains with large suppliers who are able to provide a wider variety of gold coins and bars that they source at competitive prices. This is vastly different from a high street broker who may only have a limited inventory to offer you, due to constraints of storage space.
When you buy gold from a high street shop, the onus is on you to make the right decision when buying, and you need to be able to tell whether or not the gold you are being sold is proper. A reputable online broker will have a team of experts, along with modern testing methods to ensure that anything you buy from them is already pre-checked and good to go. Of course, online brokers are also able to give you a better price as they do not need to incur the extra costs associated with running a regular high street store. They can offer a range of delivery and storage options, including secured storage at an approved vault, as well as secured, insured delivery to your door.

What to look for when dealing with an online broker
As long as the broker is a reliable one, you can rest assured that the product you’re buying is genuine and a good investment. Usually, the broker needs to be registered with an appropriate body like the British Numismatists Trade Association (BNTA). It’s important to remember that a single bad transaction could prove dear, as buying gold usually involve large sums of money.
While it’s true that you may get a good deal from an online broker, equally there are criminals who use the internet to hide. So, it’s up to you to do the proper background check on the dealer before entering into a transaction. In general, a good online broker will have a customer service line through they can be contacted. A genuine broker will be transparent at all times and be willing to answer all your questions. If the broker in question isn’t doing that, you should be concerned and be careful of dealing with the company.
