Finance & payment plans
0% interest-free finance for 12 months, in-house lay-by, and the small print — all in plain English.
Spread the cost
For orders over £500 we offer interest-free finance through our credit partner, subject to status. Pay the deposit at checkout and spread the balance over up to 12 months at 0% APR representative.
How it works
- Choose Finance at checkout (or ask at the till in the showroom).
- Complete a short online application — you will get an instant decision in most cases.
- Pay the deposit (usually 10%) and your goods are released into the delivery schedule.
- Set up a direct debit for the monthly payments.

Eligibility
- Aged 18 or over and resident in the UK.
- In permanent employment, self-employed, or in regular receipt of pension / benefits.
- A UK bank account that can support direct debit.
- A clean credit record — the lender will perform a soft credit check before a hard one.
If your application is declined
The decision is the lender's and we do not see the reason. You are welcome to pay by another method — debit card, bank transfer, or our in-house lay-by service (see below).
Lay-by — the alternative
If finance is not the right fit, we run a simple lay-by service: pay a deposit, agree a settlement date, and we hold the goods for up to three months. No credit check, no interest. Ask at the till.
The legal bit
J & M McEwen is a credit broker, not a lender. Finance is provided by our authorised credit partner. Credit subject to status; terms and conditions apply.
