Yes, you can make part payments towards your agreement at any time during the loan period. Part payments help clear any accrued interest and reduce the loan amount which will lower the amount of interest due in the future.

The loan amount offered is equal to the value of your goods as determined by our trained pawnbrokers. This is based on the quality and condition of the item as well as its market value. We will always give fair and accurate valuations on all items.

If you have a complaint, we ask you to bring it to the attention of the branch manager. If you are not satisfied with their response, please follow the complaints procedure in the contact us section.

Pawnbroking is a way of using your assets such as jewellery and watches to get a loan against them.

You leave your item with us for up to 7-months and we will give you the agreed amount for that item. When you want to collect your item(s), just return to the shop and repay the loan amount and any interest that has accrued for the period of the loan.

You have the right to withdraw from the contract within 14- days of the date it is signed. You can do this in writing by letter, or email or verbally in the shop or on the phone.
