Or alternatively, buy a share.
To use my aircraft as an example (there are no shares for sale in it at the mo, so it's only intended as an example):
Cost of the share is £6500. It will then cost you £50/month, and around £35/hour to fly it. Afterwards, you can sell the share to recover your initial £6500 (which you can then use for the CPL/IR). The only danger is that you'll get hooked on your aircraft and not want to sell it!
(Incidentally, for £35/hour, I get to fly a fun aircraft with a variable pitch prop, retractable undercarriage, turbo-charged engine and a 120kt cruise. The only disadvantage is that it's day-VFR only, being a PFA aircraft.)
