| Finance and Funding | |||||||
| Getting finance is easy these days with everyone from Tesco's to insurance companies offering quotes and differing APR's abound. Do shop around! I can give you no better advice than that. Don't take the first deal offered and beware - nothing comes free. Try not to pay more than a 10% deposit. Windowquoter.co.uk actually offer a deposit indemnity scheme when you accept a quote obtained through them. Click here to find out more. (terms and conditions will apply) Get more than one quote, compare prices, compare products, and compare warranties and guarantees. For a definitive price you will always have to be visited by a surveyor so that he can check the measurement and the complexity of the work. Understand the salesman. Most salesmen are self-employed and consequently if they don't get the sale they don't get paid. It is also true to say that some salesmen are professional salesmen with little knowledge of the window industry but know how to sell. Conversely some salesmen have worked in all areas of the trade and know all there is to know. Sole traders who sell, make & fit the windows will fall into this category. Understand the price. The first price you are quoted is very rarely the best price, be prepared to haggle. You can be bombarded with special offers such as become a show house or first call discount, both of which entitle you to a discount if you sign up now. Do not dismiss discounts some are genuine and if it reduces the cost then why not? In fact it is often worth asking if they will offer any discount if you display their board outside your house. Understand the sales process. If you sign the contract within your own premises you have a 7 day cooling off period in which time you can cancel the order. If you sign the contract in a showroom or on the window companies premises then you have waved this cooling off period. Understand the terms used. Just like any industry there will be terminology and phrases used that you don't understand, when this happens ask the salesman to explain. Arm yourself with information, only approach reputable companies, ask around get a recommendation. Who did your neighbour use? Were they any good? Understand the product. Research the materials, see what best fits your requirement and what options are out there. Very few designs are impossible or materials applicable, although the salesman may try to limit you to his/her range of products, so know what is available. |
