Now in order to make them ‘easy to buy’ they have created a series of attractive financial packages that they are offering as part of their May 2009 special promotions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Portland has negotiated with Barclays Bank, its in-house financial partner, in order to be able to offer a series of attractive  financial packages. The May 2009 special promotion is available in conjunction with all the conservatories and orangeries in the Portland range, this includes &lt;a href="http://www.portlandconservatories.co.uk/lean-to-contemporary-conservatories.asp"&gt;lean-to conservatories&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.portlandconservatories.co.uk/contemporary-orangeries.asp"&gt;contemporary orangeries&lt;/a&gt;, as well as being available on all installation options including the Portland Premier full build package.

With the various financial packages available there has never been a better time to purchase a new conservatory or  orangery from Portland.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are several different financial packages available as part of the May 2009 special promotion, the options available  include a ‘Buy Now – pay later’ option and a ‘Beat the Bank rate’.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The “Buy now - pay later” Option&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This option has been designed to enable you to purchase a bespoke new conservatory or orangery and not have to start making your repayments on the balance for 12 months. This means that your repayments will not start until 2010.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Using the ‘Buy Now – Pay Later’ option when purchasing a £5,000 conservatory or orangery could lead to the following repayment plan:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul type="disc"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Conservatory or orangery Cash price = £5,000&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Deposit £500&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Either pay the cash price within 12 months of delivery or pay 120 monthly payments of £96.75&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Total amount payable (assuming cash price is not paid within 12 months) = £12110.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;li&gt;APR 19.9% variable&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The “Beat the Bank with a rate of 6.9% APR”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even with the current uncertainty and unrest that  pervades in the mortgage and loans market at present Portland have been able to  secure the excellent unsecured rate of 6.9% from in-house financial partner  Barclays Bank. This option makes it possible to spread the re-payments on a new conservatory over a time period ranging from 3 to 15 years.

We have also ensured that there are no administration or valuation fees to pay.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul type="disc"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Cash price £5,000&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Deposit £500&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;li&gt;120 monthly payments of £ 51.62&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Total payable £6694.40&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;li&gt;APR 6.9% variable&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Portland is part of the Amdega group who is a licensed credit broker and all facilities are subject to status.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Call 0800 294 9040 to request a copy of the &lt;a href="http://www.portlandconservatories.co.uk/brochure.asp"&gt;Portland Conservatories brochure&lt;/a&gt; or to arrange an &lt;a href="http://www.portlandconservatories.co.uk/brochure.asp"&gt;appointment for a free design consultation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Portland also manufactures a range of &lt;a href="http://www.portlandsummerhouses.co.uk/"&gt;high quality DIY timber summerhouses&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.portlandsummerhouses.co.uk/brampton.htm"&gt;gazebos&lt;/a&gt; at affordable prices.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Visit &lt;a href="http://www.portlandconservatories.co.uk/"&gt;www.portlandconservatories.co.uk&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.portlandsummerhouses.co.uk"&gt;www.portlandsummerhouses.co.uk&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7233633586514784268-6315271904189456783?l=portland-conservatories-news.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7233633586514784268/posts/default/6315271904189456783'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7233633586514784268/posts/default/6315271904189456783'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://portland-conservatories-news.blogspot.com/2009/01/portland-conservatories-announces-its.html' title='Portland Conservatories announces its special January 2009 promotion on DIY self build and Premier full build timber conservatories and orangeries'/><author><name>Portland Conservatories</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13694220755456806569</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233633586514784268.post-3653080893162088921</id><published>2009-01-19T10:15:00.000Z</published><updated>2009-01-19T10:16:47.481Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gazebos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='summerhouses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='finance'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='special offers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='garden structures'/><title type='text'>The Portland Summerhouses January 2009 Promotion</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Portland, the UK’s leading manufacturer of high  quality low cost &lt;a href="http://www.portlandsummerhouses.co.uk"&gt;DIY timber summerhouses&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.portlandsummerhouses.co.uk/richmond.htm"&gt;garden buildings&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.portlandsummerhouses.co.uk/brampton.htm"&gt;gazebos&lt;/a&gt;, has developed a series of financial solutions designed to help make it even easier now to purchase your new &lt;a href="http://www.portlandsummerhouses.co.uk/"&gt;summerhouse&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.portlandsummerhouses.co.uk/brampton.htm"&gt;gazebo&lt;/a&gt;.

is re-launching its range of designs at a time when homeowners may be looking to improve and extend rather than move.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;In the current economic climate, extending a home by adding a stylish &lt;a href="http://www.portlandconservatories.co.uk/"&gt;conservatory&lt;/a&gt; will solve the issue of space for homeowners who are unable to sell their homes, or do not wish the inconvenience of moving.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Chris Redfern, Chief Operating Officer of Portland Conservatories, said:  We appreciate that a lot of people’s dreams and ambitions might be affected by the credit crunch, but we would urge them to think about a different and affordable way of increasing their living space, improving their home and also their lifestyle.” &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Portland Conservatories offers &lt;a href="http://www.portlandconservatories.co.uk/traditional-conservatories.asp"&gt;traditional ( Edwardian and Victorian ) conservatory&lt;/a&gt; designs together with a range of &lt;a href="http://www.portlandconservatories.co.uk/contemporary-conservatories.asp"&gt;contemporary conservatories&lt;/a&gt; to better suit the current furnishing and fashion preferences of today’s home improvement market.  Although conservatories were first used to “conserve” exotic plants from the extremes of the British weather, they are increasingly being seen as one of the most adaptable and favourite rooms in a home.  The availability of stylish accessories, furniture and discrete heating systems has opened up the conservatory as an all-year-round room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Some people still associate a conservatory with flowery, upholstered cane furniture and a place to take afternoon tea,” said Mr Redfern.  “But the reality is they can be used for anything – a gym, an office, a dining room, a children’s play room or a sanctuary for relaxation.” &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;He added: “Another myth is that conservatories can be too hot and uncomfortable in the summer and too cold to use in the winter.  That’s not the case, with Portland's roof ventilating systems and double-glazed units, they can be used all the year round and certainly look more attractive and are often cheaper than a conventional extension.” &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;With enhancement options available on the market such as underfloor heating, tiled or wooden flooring, air-conditioning and blinds, a conservatory can be adapted to suit the environment, giving cost-effective and stylish living space.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Portland Conservatories, which are self-build, take in the region of two to three weeks to install and can be assembled by a competent enthusiast or by a reputable joiner - simple step by step instructions guide  the customer  through the assembly process.  As well as re-launching its designs, the company has also revamped its website, which provides further information about the Portland range along with advice on local authority &lt;a href="http://www.portlandconservatories.co.uk/planning.asp"&gt;conservatory planning permission&lt;/a&gt; requirements .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The company is also doing its bit for the environment, with all the timber components being sourced from sustainable and managed forests,  which are FSC certified. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;The new range of Portland conservatories bring the outside in, be it a traditional gable-ended unit, a stylish lean-to or a &lt;a href="http://www.portlandconservatories.co.uk/contemporary-orangeries.asp"&gt;contemporary orangery&lt;/a&gt; they certainly extend the home with a significant amount of style and panache.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Originally published on: 2008-06-30&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7233633586514784268-1711058586644141846?l=portland-conservatories-news.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7233633586514784268/posts/default/1711058586644141846'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7233633586514784268/posts/default/1711058586644141846'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://portland-conservatories-news.blogspot.com/2008/09/portland-conservatories-is-re-launching.html' title='Portland Conservatories is re-launching its range of designs at a time when homeowners may be looking to improve and extend rather than move.'/><author><name>Portland Conservatories</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13694220755456806569</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233633586514784268.post-7087090439071858350</id><published>2008-08-14T12:33:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2008-08-19T10:55:52.840+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Portland Conservatories'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='conservatories'/><title type='text'>Portland Conservatories - Online News Centre</title><content type='html'>Welcome to the Portland Conservatories online news centre.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7233633586514784268-7087090439071858350?l=portland-conservatories-news.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7233633586514784268/posts/default/7087090439071858350'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7233633586514784268/posts/default/7087090439071858350'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://portland-conservatories-news.blogspot.com/2008/08/technorati-profile.html' title='Portland Conservatories - Online News Centre'/><author><name>Portland Conservatories</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13694220755456806569</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry></feed>
