3 Big Benefits of Carports

Across the UK homeowners are protecting their cars with outside shelters to shield against the unreliable elements and add a stylish extra to their home’s appearance. 123v is a reputable and industry leading supplier-installer of carports and canopies. Their carports are designed and manufactured in-house by an expert team adept at customising domestic and commercial carports and canopies to your taste.

Want an affordable outdoor shelter for your car? Take a look at these three major reasons why you should consider a domestic carport for your home:

Weather Protection
Ensure your car is kept clean and shielded from the impact of volatile weather conditions. 123v supply carports that offer UV protection, which prevents bodywork deterioration, and sturdy covered parking to control the effect of extreme weather. Over the winter period do you grow tired of heavy snow blocking up tyres and freezing conditions causing an ice blanket over your car? Invest in a robust carport.

Create Storage Space
123v carports and canopies also provide shaded and sheltered areas for social events. Host an outdoor party or a summertime barbecue under cover. Domestic storage is something we all look for, so pack away your outdoor furniture, bicycles and anything else; a carport provides weatherproof protection for anything you wish to keep… not just your car.

Save Money
A carport is a cost effective (and cheaper) alternative to a household garage. Not only that, but it will add to the value of your property. As a practical and budget-friendly shelter to provide covered parking, a 123v carport is available to install across the UK. Get ready to load and unload your car under cover from the rain!
123v supply a variety of car shelter sizes and styles, there is a range of carport structures from which to choose. Individual structures include cantilever, traditional and freestanding carports, and the installation process normally takes just a few hours. 123v will even assist with your planning permission applications and, on completion, each purchase includes a ten year warranty, which is a guarantee of high-class service and product quality.

Are Logbook Loans For You?

Do you need quick cash? A logbook loan can help cover medical fees, home repairs and household bills and is a straightforward solution that provides same day financial support. V5 Loans is a flexible logbook loan lender that offers secure alternatives to banks and other high street lenders.

A logbook loan may suit you if you have a poor credit rating or no credit history, so take a look at these helpful tips to see if a short-term finance loan can help you out.

Instant Cash

Rejected by the banks and require fast cash? V5 Loans can offer between £500 and £20,000, based on the value of your vehicle, within 24 hours. Instant funds are available even if you have poor credit history since the loan is determined by a prompt valuation of your car. As long as you own a vehicle which is free, or almost free, of finance, and have a proven stream of income, then you may be eligible for same day approval. Most applicants can start using the money within a few hours.

Secured Loan

As a secured loan, logbook loans are administered with your car used as collateral. V5 Loans not only offers same day personal loans, but applicants are also allowed to keep their vehicle throughout the duration of the loan process. So if you need your car for work, or for whatever purpose, then you can carry on driving.

Reliable Loan Lender

It is important to choose a trustworthy and reliable cash lender. Select a logbook loan company which is governed by Consumer Credit Law, like V5 Loans. A Consumer Credit License demonstrates the company’s confidentiality and quality of service. Avoid unregulated lenders and make sure you choose a company that is transparent and offers the kind of service you need.

Repayment Plans

Looking for a loan repayment schedule tailored to your lifestyle? V5 Loans can help. They offer flexible payment schemes to suit you; whether weekly or monthly, timely repayments can even help to boost your credit file.

If you are in need of speedy financial solutions then get in touch with a reputable logbook loans company. A logbook loan is not a long-term financial solution but it can ease short-term money pressures and repair your credit rating. Get the money you need… today!
