As Led Zeppelin famously crooned, “all that glitters is gold.” At Prestige Pawnbrokers we can’t get enough of this gorgeous, gleaming metal that never loses its enduring appeal.

When it comes to gold jewellery pieces are often steeped in sentimentality. This means that owners are usually reluctant to part with their prized accessories. Lucky for all you gold aficionados out there, we’ve got the perfect solution. With our cash loans against gold, you can get your hands on instant funds, without having to say farewell to your assets.

An in-house team of gold gurus

At Prestige Pawnbrokers we back our service with a team of certified in-house experts. Together, they boast expertise in a myriad of precious metals, including gold. When you bring in an item we’ll have them meticulously scrutinise it in order to come up with an accurate value. This is then used to offer you a cash loan. As trusted and long-established high street pawnbrokers our offers can be up to three times higher than those of our competitors.

Cash-poor-asset-rich?

Pawnbrokers in Weybridge? The word brings to mind a rather dingy, Dickensian world, doesn’t it? But Prestige Pawnbrokers in Queen’s Road is not like that. It’s clean, professional, airy – more like a bank or a building society office.

Which is exactly the point. In the modern world, where cash-poor-asset-rich individuals and small businesses have liquidity problems, pawnbrokers can be just like a bank – only more effective. Which is why Prestige’s proprietor James Constantinou set up the business.

“I realised I was dealing with lots of very successful professional people who had temporary cash flow problems as a result of the recession,” he says, “and I saw a gap in the market to provide a cost-effective way of helping them through it.”

We all know the old cliché: banks are delighted to lend you all the money you want – as long as you don’t need it. In an emergency many people find that a lifetime’s carefully protected credit rating counts for nothing.

“This is where we have the edge,” James adds. “All we need to worry about is the value of the items offered as security – we don’t have to ask patronising, long-winded questions about why you want the money and your budget for repayments.”

That’s one place where they score – the other is cost. Because the loan is effectively guaranteed, interest rates can be as low as 4%. Try getting that from one of our nationalised financial institutions.

The Weybridge business has had a storming opening month: examples include a local independent businessman pawning his Ferrari to raise funds to complete a property development project. The client was waiting for funds from a previous deal to be released; Prestige provided a quick and simple solution that avoided a cashflow crisis that could have ruined him.

Other items include a pair of classic Harley Davidsons pawned by a dealer looking to raise working capital from his stock – quicker, easier and cheaper than trying to secure an overdraft from his bank. Weybridge, like the rest of the country, is obviously having to tighten its belt. Prestige are providing a valuable extra solution to help people through their short term problems.
