If you want the lowest %premium possible just use bullionvault

Do you have experience with bullionvault please Paul? I'd be grateful for any advice you can share. I have been considering trying them out myself, but members in the forum often say silver can't be bought VAT free & you should always get it delivered, obviously not possible with bullionvault. Thanks!

I'd buy from not another source but from a different mint totally rm really sucks

WWW.SILVERTRADER.UK has some nice product and some very nice Albion Bars. Take a look!

Thank you, much appreciated! 😍

I was thinking of purchasing from the Royal Mint, but would prefer to avoid these issues & support better businesses instead. 

Can anyone advise me please of the best places to buy 2022 Silver Britannia's, quality & price the consideration as always.

Personally I would keep the property.

Gold, I only hold physical.

Silver is currently about 50 50 split between a vaulted position and physical.

I am not with bullion vault just something similar and the only reason I do this is to liquidate fast if there is a good deal on physical or another random spike in the price happens. I use to follow the mantra if you don't hold it but the world has changed and there are better ways of doing things to suit your personal needs. 

 

Sounds a great balance. Do you mind me asking which vault you use? I'd hold it near home if it was Gold but Silver seems a little bulky & heavy to hold.. Lol!

I don't have any experience with Bullion Vault but I, and probably a few others here would recommend Glint https://glintpay.com/ if you wanted a vaulting option at a very low cost. The purchase of gold is also very cheap and you can spend it, if you wish, with a Mastercard, you can also buy and spend USD and Euros.

However I think most would also recommend that you hold physical metals at home or close by in the form of Sovereigns and/or Britannias  which are capital gains and VAT free.

 

Thanks for the heads up re Glint. Sovereigns & Britannias close to home seems a good plan too.

Personally, I would keep the property and rent it out, the market may have dips being predicted, but wait until you see PM price movements with no passive income !!

God stopped making land a long time ago and land is the biggest factor in new properties, or lack thereof. 

Property was the long term plan, so I'd usually completely agree but I'm a little concerned the property bubble may be in danger of bursting soon. 

I would really appreciate hearing more experienced members opinions of BullionVault & if they are a good company to deal with, or otherwise.

I'd also be interested in views on the Pros & Cons of storage. I'm new to all this & have noticed a number of people saying if you don't keep it close, you don't own it.

With the economy looking dodgy, we are thinking of selling a small property & putting the proceeds into PM's. VAT free silver looked an attractive option but I'm not sure how practical it would be to keep this at home.. Lol! Obviously it wouldn't be VAT free either then. Any advice on this subject would be fantastic. Thank you!
