Hitachi Finance

Your satisfaction is their key priority. This is why they offer finance services that are flexible to your needs and puts you in control.

• Settle Early
  You can repay your loan in full at any time with a small early settlement charge (no more than two months interest on the outstanding balance).
• Additional payment
  Although your commitment is to a minimum monthly repayment, you can make extra payments as and when you please, reducing the length of your loan and the interest you pay.
• Reducing balance of Loan
  Interest is charged on the outstanding balance only. So increasing your payments reduce the interest you would otherwise pay.
• Low Deposit
  When paying in cash, customers can be required to pay around 25% deposit in cash and pay in full on the completion of works. By taking out one of our home improvement plans, deposits are usually significantly lower, which means you can keep your hard-earned savings working for you.

Under the loan agreement, the consumer credit protection act ensures that the lender is also liable for safeguarding any deposit and upholding the guarantee issued by Britelite Windows. In summary, by taking advantage of the Britelite home improvement plan, instead of paying cash, you are doubly protected should anything go wrong.
