New finance scheme promises premium security for homeowners

03 November 2009

The most recent crime statistics released by the SAPS showed once again that house robberies are on the increase. Local residents battling against this rising tide of home invasions are also facing rising costs of electricity and rates, amongst other household expenses, leaving little over at month end to pay for the necessary security to stay safe at home.

Says Peter Rawson, marketing and sales director of barrier security manufacturer, Trellidor, "This is precisely why we have introduced a flexible finance scheme. It helps families purchase the best barrier security they can afford without putting unnecessary strain on their budgets."

The new finance scheme is managed by Finconnect and loans are tailored to the needs of each applicant. Applications are subject to FICA and NCA requirements and regulations to ensure consumer protection. "Trellidor customers can either work through their Trellidor consultant who will guide them through the simple process of information gathering, or deal directly with Finconnect through a dedicated help line once an order has been placed," said Rawson.

Rawson believes that this unique financing option will go a long way towards keeping people safe in their own homes. Good quality security barriers are considered to be the best way of preventing criminals from gaining access to a home. These should be budgeted for first before adding other layers of protection such as burglar alarms and armed response services.

"Every window and door should be protected with dependable barrier security as a first line of defence against criminals but we tend to secure only those openings we see as most vulnerable forgetting that to a determined criminal there is no such thing as an inaccessible window or door. Our personalised finance plan will enable customers to secure their entire homes and will add value to their properties through this investment."
