Pawnbrokers

A pawnbrokers loan is probably the fastest and easiest way of raising cash fast. We will lend against almost any item of value and advance cash on the spot. You can borrow any amount as long as the value of the item secures the amount borrowed. We lend against:

Jewellery
Watches
Diamonds
Electrical goods
Cameras
Life and endowment policies
Collectables
Shares
Computer ware
Cars, vehicles, motorbikes
...... or any items of value.

Whether it be a humble ring worth £10 or goods worth thousands of pounds, our customers are always given personal and friendly attention and leave our premises satisfied that they have received a superb pawnbroking service and the best advance obtainable against the value of their goods.

With years of experience, we are experts at what we do and that is why our customers choose to come back to us time and time again.

How Pawnbroker Loans Work

We will look at any item and tell you how much we can lend against it.

Together we agree the loan amount based on the value of your item.

We give you a contract (licensed under The Consumer Credit Act 1974) with a term of 6 months. This will be explained to you in our offices.

The goods remain yours throughout the duration of the loan (they are held as security only) and are kept in secure storage facilities until such time as the loan is repaid.

The goods can be redeemed at any time during the term of the loan by repaying the capital borrowed plus the interest owing up to the point of redemption.

You only pay interest on the number of months that the loan has been outstanding. We then return your items to you.

If the loan has not been redeemed, we write to you towards the end of the 6 month period to remind you that the loan is ending and that it can either:

Be redeemed by re-paying the loan in full i.e. the original loan amount plus 6 month's interest
or be renewed by paying 6 month's interest only. (giving you a further 6 months to repay the loan)

If the loan remains unpaid or un-renewed at the end of the 6 month period, we would be obliged to sell the item in order to retrieve the capital and interest owing.

For loans over £75, any surplus over and above the capital, interest and reasonable expenses incurred in selling the item would be returned to you.
