Sovereign adds the personal touch to home buying

With Scotland and the rest of the UK set to celebrate ‘New Homes Week’ from September 12-20, 2009, demonstrating why now is a great time to buy - niche Scottish housebuilder, Sovereign House Developments, is adding the personal touch to its buying process thanks to the introduction of two new incentives.

Comprising the recently launched Home Protect scheme and the company’s latest offering, Refer a Friend, Sovereign’s new incentives give buyers extra comfort and added peace of mind when making one of the most important buying decisions of their lives.

Colin McLachlan, joint managing director of Sovereign House Developments, comments: “New Homes Week is a great way to highlight the help and security housebuilders can provide during one of the most important buying decisions of someone’s life. Our two latest incentives allow us to personalise our buying process, making the emphasis on the buyer rather than the property itself.

“We have always believed that the standard of our homes truly speaks for itself. Therefore, rather than go down the road of price cutting our product, we have focused in on our buyers’ needs and expectations in the current market by introducing Home Protect, which provides security during difficult economic conditions.”

The Home Protect plan, introduced by the company in conjunction with financial advisors Home Insure, includes accident, sickness and unemployment insurance cover, providing purchasers with a free insurance policy to protect them financially. The policy will cover buyers’ outgoings, including mortgage payments, utility bills and community charges, for up to two years in the event that an accident, sickness or unemployment prevents them from earning.

Offering the ideal incentive for friends to become good neighbours, is Sovereign’s Refer a Friend. The scheme enables existing residents and new buyers who recommend the company to receive a generous token of thanks to the value of £1,000, if the referral goes on to buy a home.

Colin adds: “Our Refer a Friend initiative is in effect a loyalty scheme for our existing customers. It’s our way of showing our appreciation for recommending Sovereign to friends, family or colleagues, as in our book there’s no better testament to the quality of your product than a personal referral.”

Sovereign House Developments currently has five active developments in prime locations across the central belt, from Renfrew to Perth, with an impressive range of house styles available to suit a variety of buyers needs, from one-bedroom apartments to four-bedroom townhouses. From the city centre to attractive semi-rural settings, all Sovereign’s inimitable homes have been designed and crafted to the company’s superior standard, offering a quality specification throughout all its property styles.

The company currently boasts three stunning developments in the desirable area of Perthshire. The Broch and Hyalus Bank II, part of the overall Hyalus Bank development, are both situated in Perth town centre and provide a stylish mix of apartment living for a range of buyers, whilst Strathearn View is an attractive family development located on the outskirts of the town, in the charming rural setting of Bridge of Earn.

Adding to Sovereign’s impressive portfolio is Ferry Village in Renfrew and Brunstane Court in Edinburgh. Newly launched Brunstane Court offers the ideal location for those looking for a slice of capital living, with the historical heart of Edinburgh only a short journey away and comprises a selection of individually designed apartments with a choice of one, two and three-bedroom styles to choose from. At Ferry Village, on the banks of the River Clyde, buyers will find a further choice of apartment styles, and for those looking for extra space, Sovereign’s striking collection of townhouses is sure to impress.
