Simple and Secure Pawn Loans
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you conduct any credit checks?
No, this is a private loan against a personal asset. We only verify your identity electronically to comply with anti-money laundering regulations and minimise the risk of fraud. However, if it’s not possible to verify your identity electronically, we may ask for copies of physical documents.
What happens if I cancel the loan within the first 14 days?
If you cancel the loan within the first 14 days, you will need to pay the daily interest calculated on your loan for the number of days you have borrowed for. We will refund the set-up fee that covers the costs incurred for valuation. We do not charge any additional fees.
What is standard loan term?
Our standard loan term is 6 months. You can apply for an extension of one term (another 6 months) by paying off all accrued interest charges, set-up fees, and any depreciation in the value of the asset.
How much can I borrow?
The minimum loan amount we can provide is £500. There is no maximum borrowing limit.
Why is it better to pawn than sell?
Approaching a pawn shop for pawning instead of selling an asset is better considering that you have chances of securing the asset back, which can be further used in the future for pawnbroking loans. Moreover, pawnbrokers offer higher amounts on pawning than selling as they’re not concerned with reselling the asset.

How do I get my valuables back?
You can secure your assets back by repaying your pawnbroking loan on time. In case you fail to pay back your pawnbrokers loan on time, your assets may be sold.
Will pawning affect my credit rating?
No, a pawnbrokers loan from Unbolted leaves your credit report untouched. Neither do we run any credit checks prior to extending pawnbroking loans nor does your current loan affect your future credit rating.
