Using finance to buy a boiler
A boiler is one of the most important appliances in your home. A source of both heating and hot-water, these systems typically have a significant impact on the levels of comfort experienced in your household. As a result of its important role, it is key that you ensure that the boiler you install in your home is efficient, safe and of decent quality – which often comes at a price.
A new boiler could indeed be a costly expense, however, a boiler that effectively provides central heating to your home could be regarded as a worthwhile investment. To help ensure that you get a boiler that’s suitable for your needs, HomeServe could refer you to Barclays Partner Finance if you require finance to facilitate your purchase.
What is finance and what kind of options may be available?
Getting something on finance generally means that you have chosen to pay for the item in instalments instead of opting for a one-off payment. Regarding finance, some prefer this option as it could allow them to get what they want when they need it, as opposed to having to wait until they have saved up the funds to make the purchase in full. Most finance options require you to pay your instalments monthly with interest placed on top of the payments over the term of the finance agreement; this means you will pay more than the original amount you borrowed.
Finance acceptance is not guaranteed, it is subject to status and credit searches are usually required. The terms and conditions offered by the lender must also be taken into consideration.
The following are examples of some typical finance terms and agreements that may be referred to or offered by lenders:
Deposits
A deposit, in general terms, means an upfront payment. Some companies may request for a deposit to be paid, others may not. In both cases, if you’re using finance to purchase goods or services, a deposit could alter the amount you pay back. £0 deposit finance plans generally allow you to finance your entire purchase without paying any money upfront.
Contrastingly, paying a deposit could mean that you may apply for a lower loan amount. Interest rates charged on loans may vary depending on your personal circumstances, the loan amount requested and lender’s rates (this list is not exhaustive).
Interest
Interest is the charge for the privilege of borrowing money; typically expressed as annual percentage rate (APR). When an applicant receives a loan, interest and other fees may be added. It is therefore important that you understand the amount that you are expected to pay over the term of the loan. You should also pay particular attention to the agreed payment schedule and any repayment charges mentioned in your agreement’s terms and conditions. Early repayment charges, as well as default and arrears charges may also be included, although other terms and conditions may apply.
It is important to note that failure to maintain the agreed terms and conditions of your finance agreement may result in additional charges, poor credit rating and/or legal action
The main types of interest include:
- Fixed rate interest - A loan with a fixed rate of interest may be offered by some lenders to provide customers with a predictable payment schedule over the term of their loan. These agreements are subject to the applicant meeting the terms and conditions set out by the lender, which may include but not be limited to: no late payments, omissions or early repayment.
- Variable rate interest - A loan with a variable rate of interest, in contrast to the former option, means that monthly payment amounts may vary as well as the overall cost of the loan.
- 0% Interest - When lenders offer 0% interest rates, this usually means that no interest is charged and therefore the original amount borrowed is paid back in instalments. It is essential that you read and fully understand the terms and conditions of 0% interest finance agreements prior to agreeing to a payment plan to which it is applied.
