At SECUREIT, one of the fastest growing fire prevention and CCTV security solutions companies in Wales, we work closely with leading house builders across South Wales and the South-West of England. As a trusted security partner in the construction sector, we understand that a strong housing market is often a reliable indicator of wider economic resilience.

That’s why we welcome the latest news that first-time buyers are returning to the market in increasing numbers, bringing renewed momentum to the property sector.

Recent data reveals that first-time buyers accounted for 54% of all UK property purchases last year – the highest proportion on record. This comes despite continued challenges around affordability, with industry professionals citing increased support from advisers and lenders as a key factor in helping buyers onto the ladder.

Gareth Gale of Halifax Intermediaries highlighted that 2024 has already seen a 20% rise in first-time buyer activity compared to the previous year. With products such as 5% deposit mortgages and shared ownership options now more accessible, many potential buyers are finding new ways to purchase their first home.

This is encouraging news for the construction industry—and for the essential support services that surround it. At SECUREIT, we’re proud to work alongside many respected housing developers, ensuring that construction sites remain secure from the ground-breaking stage through to the final handover.

Our housebuilder security solutions include:

Mobile CCTV towers with solar power and AI-assisted motion detection
Access control systems to manage site entry and protect materials
Fire prevention systems, from extinguishers to full alarm installations
Perimeter protection, including smart fencing and lighting solutions
Remote monitoring services for round-the-clock surveillance

Philip Popham, Managing Director at SECUREIT, commented:
“We’re proud to play our part in supporting the housebuilding industry. Reliable, well-managed site security ensures projects stay on track and assets are protected. Knowing our systems help deliver homes for first-time buyers is a responsibility we take seriously.”

We offer comprehensive security services across Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Bridgend, Pontypridd, and Cwmbran, providing end-to-end protection for building sites of all sizes.

For any housing developer looking to protect their investment while supporting first-time buyer growth, SECUREIT is ready to assist.
