Keep Your Property Secure

It is very important to make sure that you keep your property and belongings secure, and we have some tips for doing just that.

Lock your door with all available locks - this may seem obvious, however many people just leave their property with just the yale locked.  The majority of our properties have a yale and mortice lock on the flat door, and it is the the mortice lock which is a much safer lock as it is harder to break into a property with this lock on.  Using all available locks should be done both when you are out of the property and at night time.

Close all windows - again this is something that should be done while you are out of the property and at night time.

Keep all expensive gadgets etc out of plain view - especially if you are in a ground floor property as these could easily be seen by passers by.

Put lamps on a timer - as the nights are drawing in at this time of year you may want to put lamps on a timer to give the impression that someone is in the property.  This would be a good idea to do if you are going to be leaving the property over a weekend or longer.

Make sure you have the right type of insurance for your contents in place in case the worst does happen.
