Cash price £1789, or Deposit of £ 474 + 120 payments of £17 making £2514 9.9% APR.
Total interest charges: £725.That gum you like is coming back in style.0 -
Strange how the deposit of £474 was never mentioned until now!
So the credit will cost nearly 30% of the total.
I also suspect that the quoted price is boiler only-what about programmer, TRV's etc?No free lunch, and no free laptop0 -
Its in a tiny font under the do the math stuff.That gum you like is coming back in style.0

And who would have spotted that. Grr...No free lunch, and no free laptop0

I did not think that fonts came that small. I had to have real hard look to come up with £474 figure. Talk about making sure you read the small print.
I wonder why they think that picture of an ageing TV personality would make me more likely to go to them than to go anywhere else.I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0 -
it'd be cheaper to take out a bank loan and get a local engineer in.0

I got a quote earlier this week. I didn't know about the ad campaign-found them through an installer search. Advice etc re installation was great BUT as soon as I made it clear I wanted interest free only (they do two year interest free with a maximum deposit) the salesman seemed to lee interest and practically ran out the house. Having had a ridiculous quote from British gas, with one year warranty, and various local installers offering 1-5 year manufacturers warranty, home link 10 year warranty with option to pay without interest over two years seems too good to be true? Where is the catch?0

local installers around here are offering new combis supply and fit for 1500 quid plus vat. (for 2 & 3 bed houses).
good brands too.Get some gorm.0 -
Our system boiler (in the landing cupboard) packed in a few weeks ago, no big issue, it's not massively cold in the sunny south (Hampshire).
I've had a few quotes; £2,200-3750 and various options - move it to the loft, go combi (nah) etc.. All seem to want to do different things and all seem to 'omit' things.
Oh yeah, and a load of no-shows, never replied & 2 weeks to send me a quote and can't do it for at least 2 weeks.
What is it with 'the trade' that they do a great impression of can't be arsed/take it or leave it?).
So had Help-Link around today and the guy, who was very affable, said they could do it in a week at most: a Worcester Bosch Greenstar 18Ri in the loft, with a sealed system, Powerflush, Magnaclean AND board out the loft AND put in a light AND put in a loft ladder - £2,800.
Other considerations: 10 year parts & labour, 2 years interest free.
Compared to the other players, not such a bad deal.
I do have cash if we want to pay in one lump but I think Martin would approve of placing the lump sum in an interest bearing account for 2 years.
Anyone got any comments on Help-Link?
Anyone want to make me a better offer?0 -

£17 a month to pay for 10 years
A bank loan via Barclays
9.9% APR, which to be fair isn't bad
.
I guess a way to look at it is that BG want between £10.50 & £18.50 a month for a maintenance plan.0
