Why Pawn With J Blundell?
No admin Fee
Unlike some lenders, we don’t charge any administrative fees. Our focus is on providing you with the instant cash loans you need, without any hidden costs. The only exception is if you loose copy of your contract.
Daily Interest
Interest on our loans is calculated daily. This means that you only pay interest for the exact number of days you borrow the money.
Early repayments
If you’re in a position to repay your loan before the end of the term, you’re free to do so. There are no penalties or extra charges for early repayment. In fact, repaying early can save you money as you’ll pay less interest.
Instant Cash Loans
We offer pawnbroking loans for amounts of £500 and above with same day bank transfer for loans above £1,000. However, if you need to borrow less than £500, we offer a convenient buy back service. Details of this service can be found on our Buy Back Gold London page.
Credit Rating
Since the loan is secured against your gold, your score is not a factor in the loan process, and the loan does not appear on your credit rating.
In essence, our gold loans are designed to be flexible, fair, and customer-friendly. We offer competitive Lona to Value (LTV) ratios, no admin fees, daily interest calculation, and we welcome early repayments. It’s all part of our commitment to offering the best possible service to our customers.
Understanding the Risks and Disadvantages of a Pawnbroking Loan
While pawnbroking loans, or secured loans are a convenient way to access cash, it’s important to understand the potential risks involved. We believe in transparency and ensuring our customers are fully informed before they decide to pawn their gold. You should get independent financial advice and make sure these loans meet your needs and affordability.
Risk of Losing Your Collateral
The most significant risk of a pawnbroking loan is using it as collateral for the loan. If you’re unable to repay the loan and the accrued interest by the end of the loan term, the pawnbroker has the right to sell your silver or gold to recover the debt.
Interest Costs
While pawnbroking loans can be a useful short-term financial solution, they can be expensive if used over a long period. If you’re unable to repay the pawnbroking loan quickly, the interest costs can accumulate, making the loan more expensive.
