What is pawnbroking?
Pawnbroking is one of the oldest funding mechanisms in the world. Funding is offered against personal property, which is then returned to you once the agreement is settled in full. It is a simple and hassle-free way to raise money.
How much can I borrow?
The amount we offer you depends on the value of the item or items you want to offer in exchange for the funds. We always advise you to request only the funds you need, not the full value of the item.
Will I get charged high rates of interest?
Our charges are competitive and are based on the full value of the funds offered. You may settle the agreement at any time without penalty, and interest is charged only for the period during which you have the funds. So if you settle early, you only pay interest for the shorter term.
How does it work?
It’s very simple. Call us to get an initial value for your item. We’ll then arrange to see the item in person, provide a market valuation, and explain the agreement. When you’re happy, we’ll take possession of your item for secure storage and arrange your funds.
How do I get my items back?
This is simple - settle the agreement at any time, and we will return your item to you straight away.
What do you offer funds against?
We specialise in funds against watches, jewellery, precious stones, gold, fine art and antiques. However, if you have any other high-value items that you would like us to consider, please ask, and we will help if we can.
Who values my items?
We have a team of expert valuers who have many years of experience. Your valuation will come from the person best qualified to assess your item, and we keep up-to-date with these specialist markets so that you are always getting the best possible value for your item.
