We’ve served our clients for 30 years from our Bond Street area pawnshop. During that time, we experienced growth and retained customers because we focused on fairness and transparency. Our luxury items loans are honest and upfront, setting us apart as the premier pawnbrokers in London.

We don’t require credit checks for loans against luxury assets. This stance ensures that our loans are swift, low-friction, and don’t affect your credit rating. Traditional financing is slow, cumbersome, and evasive. Our financing options are the opposite, which is why we’ve built strong relationships with our customers.

Time is one of the most undervalued assets in the financial world. When you borrow against luxury goods at our Mayfair pawnshop, we aim for quick same-day transfers that often arrive in your bank account in just two hours. When you need capital quickly, we’ve got you covered.

We provide flexibility when you pawn fine assets in our West End office. Our loans are set for between 2 and 7 months, but you can settle up at any time during that period. Best of all, we don’t charge early termination fees; all you have to do is pay the remaining interest on your loan.

FAQs

At New Bond Street Pawnbrokers, we offer competitive loans based on the current market value of your luxury asset. The specific loan amount largely depends on the item. Our expert appraisers evaluate watches, fine art, jewellery, and other luxury items individually to ensure you receive the maximum possible loan.

The required documentation varies depending on the asset:
Watches: Certificate of authenticity, original box, service papers, and any additional original paperwork.

  • Jewellery: Certificate of authenticity.
  • Art: Certificate of provenance.
  • Cars: Service documents, logbook, and provenance for classic or vintage vehicles.
  • Diamonds: GIA certificate.

Our valuation process is thorough and tailored to each asset type:

Watches: We check authenticity, including paperwork, serial numbers, and holograms. We then value the watch against current auction prices and estimates.

Jewellery: We assess authenticity, condition, brand, and latest market values.

Art: We inspect the certificate of provenance and work closely with leading auction experts to determine fair market value.

Diamonds: Our in-house qualified GIA experts evaluate cut, colour, clarity, and carats using the latest GIA technology.

As a premier Mayfair pawn shop, we offer loans against:

  • Fine watches (e.g., Rolex, Patek Philippe).
  • Fine art, prints, and photographs.
  • Jewellery and diamonds.
  • Classic and luxury cars.
  • Antiques and collectables.
