Pawnbroker Loans

A pawnbroker loan is a great way to raise cash quickly without having to sell your valuables. We’ll consider lending against a whole variety of items of value and advance the cash loan on the spot. The value of the item will determine the amount that can be borrowed. 

Our pawnbroker’s loan interest rates

The interest rate that we charge on our pawn shop loans will depend on the amount of the loan and the nature of the item used as security.

Interest is charged monthly and there are no other fees. Our maximum/minimum loan term is 6 months and all loans are for a fixed term of 6 months. You can repay the loan at any time without penalty.

Representative Example:
Borrow £1000.00 secured on jewellery for 6 months. Monthly interest rate 4.5% (fixed).
The total interest charge for 6 months: £270.00 
the total amount repayable for 6 months: £1270.00
The Representative APR is 61.29% (fixed)

How our pawnbroker loans work

Our team of experts offer a pawnbroking service that’s quick and easy. Here’s what to expect when you come to our offices for a pawn shop loan:

  1. All pawnbroking loans begin with our expert team assessing the value of your items for the purpose of raising a loan against them. In instances where a highly specialist item is concerned and we are unsure of the value, we can call upon a number of associates with specialist knowledge to give an accurate valuation. 
  2. Together we agree on the loan amount based on the value of your item.
  3. We give you a contract with a term of 6 months. This will be explained to you in our offices.
  4. The items 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.
  5. The items 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.
  6. You only pay interest on the number of months that the loan has been outstanding. We then return your items to you.
  7. If the loan has not been redeemed, we write to you towards the end of the 6th month period to remind you that the loan is ending and that it can either:
  • Be redeemed by repaying the loan in full i.e. the original loan amount plus 6 month’s interest
  • Be renewed by paying 6 month’s interest only. (giving you a further 6 months to repay the loan)*
  1. 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.
  2. 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.

*renewals at our sole discretion

You risk losing your items if you fail to repay on your due date.
