Selling Gold & Jewellery - Surrey

Your County’s Private Valuation House

Charters Gold is based in Egham, Surrey, and serves clients across the county from one of England’s wealthiest commuter belts. From St George’s Hill to Guildford, from Sunningdale to Esher, we offer private valuations, transparent offers and same-day payment for pieces of meaningful value.

Why Surrey clients choose us

A specialist conversation, not a transaction

  • Local roots, county-wide reach

    We live and work in Surrey. The stockbroker belt - Weybridge, Cobham, Oxshott, Esher, St George’s Hill, Sunningdale, Virginia Water - is on our doorstep, and we understand the kinds of pieces that come out of those homes: serious watches, signed jewellery, designer handbags in good condition.

  • Built for high-net-worth pieces

    Many of Surrey’s most affluent residents hold significant individual pieces - a five-figure watch, a Birkin in box, a five-stone diamond ring. We handle these regularly and have the trade relationships to give a fair, defensible figure on each.

  • Personal, not transactional

    Every Surrey valuation is one specialist, one client, by name. We never rush a decision. Clients commonly come back with a second piece, a relative’s piece, or a different conversation entirely - the relationship matters more than a single transaction.

How it works for Surrey clients

Three ways to engage with us

  • 1. Private appointment at our Egham office

    Most of Surrey is within a 25-minute drive of Egham. Appointments are confidential, by name, with one specialist. Free parking, ground-floor access.

  • 2. Home visit across Surrey

    For collections or single pieces of significant value, we travel to addresses across the county by appointment. Particularly common for clients in St George’s Hill, Wentworth, Virginia Water and the gated estates.

  • 3. Insured postal valuation

    For clients further from Egham (Guildford, Farnham, Godalming) Royal Mail Special Delivery offers a tracked, insured, next-working-day option for pieces up to £20,000.

What we frequently value here

Pieces we frequently value across Surrey

Designer handbags from Weybridge and Cobham - Hermès Birkin and Kelly in particular. Five-figure diamond rings (often three- and five-stone) from the M25 corridor’s long-established families.

Surrey - Frequently Asked

Local questions, answered

  • Do you cover the whole of Surrey?

    Yes - from Guildford in the south-west to Reigate in the east, and everything in between. Our office is in north-west Surrey (Egham) and we travel anywhere in the county for pieces of significant value.

  • I live in St George’s Hill / Wentworth - can you visit?

    Yes, regularly. Private home visits are particularly common in the gated estates where clients prefer the conversation to take place at home. Identification on arrival; written acknowledgement before the piece leaves you.

  • What about pieces from Guildford or further south?

    Two routes work well for clients in southern Surrey: either an in-person appointment in Egham (≈35-minute drive up the A3), or insured postal via Royal Mail Special Delivery. We arrange whichever suits your timing.

  • Are you VAT-registered? Will I be charged VAT?

    VAT does not apply to second-hand gold and most second-hand jewellery sold to a dealer - we explain the exact treatment for your specific piece when we make the offer.

Tell us about your precious metal

A few quick questions about the metal and form. Only your contact details are required - the rest helps us prepare.

Which metal?*
What form is it in?*
What carat?

Look for a hallmark stamp - 9, 14, 18, 22, 24 etc. Leave blank if you're not sure.

Approximate weight in grams?

Optional but helps a lot - even a rough figure narrows the valuation.
