Types of finance – a snapshot
As a Barclays Partner Finance and Black Horse approved dealer and credit intermediary, we are authorised to arrange touring caravan, motorhome, and caravan holiday home finance on your behalf. There are a range of options available that will allow you to spread the cost of your purchase over a period that suits your budget (terms are available up to 12 years) where you pay a fixed monthly amount, plus interest. So, what are the main types of finance package?
Hire Purchase
This could help you buy your dream caravan while spreading the cost. Agree an initial deposit and your agreement term and monthly payment amount then we will submit the finance application to one of the lenders and subject to your application being approved, you can take ownership of your caravan or motorhome – and after you’ve made all the payments including the interest the caravan or motorhome is all yours.
How it works
Choose your new caravan. Used touring caravans that will be up to 20 years at the end of the agreement also qualify, as well as motorhomes and holiday homes can be up to 17 years of age at the end of the agreement.
Black Horse or Barclays buys the caravan on your behalf less any deposit that you have paid to the dealer.
The remaining balance plus interest is then paid over an agreed period of 1 - 10 years.
Your payments are fixed costs, meaning that the APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is set before the agreement begins and will not change.
Set your payments to suit your budget – borrow any amount from £1,500 to £250,000.
What you pay
You pay a flexible deposit on the caravan, from 0% (0% deposit may be available subject to status)
