Why Choose EAF Over Traditional Pawnbrokers?
While many people understand the general principles of pawnbroking, not all providers offer the same level of service. EAF was created to offer a tailored, luxury alternative—one where clients are treated with courtesy, discretion, and professionalism at every stage. Here are the key advantages:
- High-Value Pawnbroking Loans (£1,000 to £1,000,000+)
Unlike typical pawnbrokers, EAF specialises in substantial lending, with loan values starting at £1,000 and rising well beyond the £1 million mark. Our expertise in luxury assets enables us to confidently fund larger loans with rapid turnaround times.
- True Privacy and Discretion
Our clients expect confidentiality—and we deliver. Consultations are conducted privately, valuations are carried out discreetly, and no credit checks are ever performed. Your assets secure the loan, giving you complete privacy.
- Premium Service and Professional Expertise
As luxury pawnbrokers, we understand the level of care required when handling valuable items such as fine jewellery, prestige watches, diamonds, rare collectibles, gold, and luxury assets. Our approach is calm, respectful, and business-focused—unlike many standard pawnbroking environments.
- Same-Day Decisions and Fast Payment
Many providers require clients to send items away for assessment or wait days for loan approval. At EAF, valuations are handled by experts, allowing us to make fast decisions—often within the hour—with funds paid out the same day.
- A Fully Regulated, Transparent Process
EAF operates under the strict regulatory framework that governs pawnbrokers in the UK. Every contract is clear, fair, and easy to understand. You will always know the loan amount, the redemption cost, and the terms of your 7-month agreement.

FAQs — High-End Pawnbroking with EAF
Below are answers to the questions most frequently asked by clients seeking luxury pawnbroker services.
What types of items can be used for a pawnbroking loan?
We accept a broad range of valuable assets including luxury watches, fine jewellery, diamonds, gold, rare collectibles, whisky, prestige vehicles, private number plates or specialty items. If you're unsure whether your item qualifies, our team will be happy to advise.
How is the value of my item assessed?
Valuations are carried out by experienced specialists using current market data, condition reports, and brand-specific knowledge. We consider age, provenance, paperwork, condition, rarity, and demand to determine the most accurate market value.
How long do I have to redeem my item?
All pawnbroking loans at EAF run for a regulated 7-month term, giving you ample time to redeem your item. You may repay at any time within the term. It is possible to renew the loan for a further 7 month term provided that the interest is paid.
Are there any penalties for early repayment?
No. There are zero penalties for early repayment. You only pay interest for the period the loan is outstanding.
What happens if I choose not to repay the loan?
If you decide not to redeem your item, it will be sold to settle the loan. There is no impact on your credit rating, no debt collection, and no negative financial consequences. The loan is simply concluded at the end of the agreed term.
Is my item safe while in storage?
Absolutely. All assets are insured and kept in high-security specialist vaults with controlled access, ensuring maximum protection throughout the loan period.
Do I need paperwork, boxes, or certificates?
These items can enhance value—especially with luxury watches and jewellery—but they are not required. We can still offer a loan based solely on the asset itself.
Is the process confidential?
Yes. Complete confidentiality is central to our business. Nothing appears on your credit file and your information is never shared.
