Garden Room Finance Options: How to Spread the Cost
You don't have to pay for a garden room all at once. Here's how garden room finance works, who provides it, and how to choose an option that suits your budget.
A garden room is a substantial purchase, and many buyers prefer to spread the cost rather than pay a single lump sum. Garden room finance can turn a large one-off expenditure into a manageable monthly payment, bringing your ideal room within reach sooner. This guide explains the common options, who provides them, and how to compare them sensibly.
✔ IN SHORT
In short: many buyers spread the cost of a garden room with finance - typically a deposit plus fixed monthly payments over an agreed term, provided through our finance partner Novuna. Always compare the total amount repayable and the APR, not just the monthly figure. Finance is subject to status and eligibility.
Why spread the cost?
Financing lets you enjoy your garden room now while paying it off over time. This is useful if the room will reduce other costs immediately, for example, by replacing rented office space or a gym membership. It also lets you specify the room you really want, rather than compromising to fit a one-off budget. For a sense of the value it can add, see our investment guide.
Common finance options
Interest-bearing finance - spread the cost over a fixed term with interest, giving predictable monthly payments.
Deposit plus monthly payments - pay part upfront to reduce your monthly amount.
Deferred payment finance - payments could be delayed for a period (usually 12 months) allowing time to pay off the full amount in that deferred period; if not paid off, payments start after the deferrment.
Personal savings or a home-improvement loan - arranged independently, sometimes at competitive rates.
Who provides the finance?
Finance for Tiger Modular's garden room ranges is provided through Novuna Consumer Finance, the trading name of Mitsubishi HC Capital UK PLC. Tiger Modular (Woodlands Home And Garden Group Limited, FCA FRN 914564) is a credit broker, not a lender - we introduce customers to Novuna and don't lend the money ourselves, so the terms, eligibility criteria and final decision sit with them.
In practice, this means a fixed-term, pay-monthly agreement: you agree a deposit and a repayment term with Novuna, and pay a fixed monthly amount for the length of that term, with the total cost and APR set out clearly before you commit. Tiger Modular provides flexible financing on garden building projects from £5,555 up to £50,000, over terms of up to 10 years, subject to status and affordability.

What to check before you commit
Look at the interest rate (APR), the length of the term, the total amount repayable, if any deposit is required, and whether early repayment is allowed without penalty. Check eligibility and whether an application involves a soft or hard credit check. Novuna will set all of this out clearly before you sign.

Is finance right for you?
Finance suits buyers who prefer predictable monthly budgeting or who want their room sooner without depleting savings. If you can comfortably pay outright and prefer to avoid interest, that may cost less overall. The right answer depends on your circumstances.
