Flexible Finance Options to Spread the Cost

Once you’ve chosen your product, you can select from two great finance options:

  • Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL): Spread the cost over 48 months with the option to defer payments for 6, 9, or 12 months.
  • Interest-Bearing Finance: Choose a payment term of 24, 36, or 48 months.

Both options require a minimum deposit of 10%.

Simple Steps to Buy on Finance:

  1. Decide your product (minimum basket value £549).
  2. Call us on 01707 802030, and we will send you a secure link to complete your finance application.
  3. Spread your payments with one of the two finance options, starting with a 10% deposit.

Buy Now, Pay Later Finance Option

With BNPL, you can delay payments for 6, 9, or 12 months, then spread the remaining balance over 48 months. Interest starts to accumulate after the deferred period, but if you settle the balance in full before this ends, no interest will be charged (though a settlement fee of up to £29 may apply).

How It Works:

  • Finance is available on orders of £549 and above.
  • Deposit is 10% of the total order value.
  • The deferred period starts when your goods are delivered.

Example of BNPL Repayments:

Order Value Total Term (Months) Defer Term (Months) Deposit (10%) Monthly Payments
£1,000 48 12 £100 £35.74
£2,000 48 12 £200 £71.47

Representative Example:

Cash Price: £999
Deposit: £99.90
Loan Amount: £899.10
APR: 24.9%
Interest Rate: 24.9% (fixed)
12 month payment holiday followed by 48 monthly repayments of £35
Total Loan Term: 60 months (first payment deferred for 12 months)
Total Amount Payable: £1,779.90
Total Charge for Credit: £780.90
Pay the balance within the first 12 months and only pay a £29 Early Settlement Fee

Note: Payments within the deferral period do not incur interest. However, interest is charged from day one if the loan is not settled within the deferral period.

Interest-Bearing Finance Option

With this option, you can spread the cost over 24, 36, or 48 months at a fixed APR of 19.9%.

How It Works:

  • Minimum basket value: £549.
  • Deposit: 10%.
  • Loan amount must be £494 or higher after the deposit.

Example of Interest-Bearing Repayments:

Order Value Term (Months) Deposit (10%) Monthly Payments
£700 24 £70 £31.54
£1,200 36 £120 £39.20
£2,000 48 £200 £53.15

Loan Amount: £630
APR: 19.9%
Interest Rate: 19.9% (fixed)
