Things to know before buying a new boiler
Will I have to make a new boiler finance deposit?
It’s all up to you. You can choose to pay nothing or pay 50% of the loan amount. It must be stated that a minimum loan of £1,000 is needed.
A large deposit of 50% can reduce your monthly repayments, cutting the cost down to a trivial £10 a month.
With that in mind, choosing a monthly payment plan probably means that you don’t have a large sum of money on hand. And that’s the whole point for the paying monthly scheme.

You can easily get 0% interest-free boilers with payment terms of 12 months from most boiler companies and boiler financing providers.
Boiler finance provided by a bank or a lender will ensure that you won’t pay a penny of interest over a set term. Here is how it works. The boiler company pays a subsidy to the bank. And that’s how they are able to make their money.
