The Bank Holiday weekend is traditionally a popular time for updating the home, homeowners who are taking advantage of low mortgage rates and investing in a new kitchen, bathroom or bedroom will be making a wise investment for the future, so says the leading trade association the Kitchen Bathroom Bedroom Specialist Association, (KBSA).
The KBSA says that there has never been a better time to invest in updating the home, as the returns when selling a home with a new kitchen, bathroom or bedroom are much greater than keeping money in the bank, which is presently achieving very little interest.
“A beautiful new kitchen, bathroom or bedroom will bring significant lifestyle improvements and also adds value to a home, an important consideration for those who will be thinking of selling when the market improves,” says KBSA sales and marketing director Ruth Ward.
The KBSA has ‘approved scheme operator’ status for the Government-backed scheme TrustMark which helps consumers find reliable and trustworthy professional tradesmen, from a national database of members that have all satisfied the same strict criteria for membership.
“The extra reassurances that our members can provide along with comprehensive financial protection and TrustMark status lets consumers know that they can buy with confidence.” says Ruth.
KBSA members already offer consumers peace of mind as they have to abide by strict rules, are carefully vetted prior to admission and have to have been trading for at least two years before they are even considered for membership.
All members offer a deposit protection scheme or a more comprehensive insurance protection, ConsumerCare Plus (CCP) free of charge. CCP covers the deposit, advance payments, work in progress and includes a six year warranty so that the purchase is protected in the unlikely event that the firm ceases to trade.
If you are considering investing money in a home makeover project then look no further than members of the KBSA for faultless service, quality products and top class installation.
The KBSA offers a free consumer guide that is packed with valuable help and advice about what to check, where to buy and how to make sure you are protected.
