How To Secure Your Residential Property In 3 Simple Steps

Residential break-ins are far more common than most people realise. 1 in 100 homes are burgled every year. Although burglaries are far more common in built-up areas. That’s why ensuring that you have the right security in place for a residential property is essential.

As well as providing you with peace of mind, the best security setup can even provide financial benefits such as reducing the cost of insuring a residential property.

If you're renting out a property, providing the right security will also be essential to avoid a liability claim if a break-in does occur. There are numerous ways to secure a property from HMO-compliant door locks to CCTV systems.

The Importance of Securing Your Residential Property

Install CCTV Cameras

CCTV cameras are one of the best ways to ensure that your residential property does have a heightened level of security in place.

One of the key benefits of the right CCTV system is that it will act as a visual deterrent. It will show criminals that your property is protected and guarantee that you don’t have to worry about unwanted individuals snooping around.

The latest CCTV systems will also ensure that you can monitor your property remotely. As such, you don’t have to worry about someone always being at the address to guarantee that it is safe. CCTV systems don’t need much maintenance either so it’s a cost-effective way to keep a home secure.

Utilize Security Lights

Finally, you should consider security lights. Similar to CCTV systems, security lights can act as a solid deterrent to those who are thinking about breaking into your property. It can put off intruders because they’ll immediately think they've been noticed walking around the area.

Research shows that properties with exterior lighting are less likely to experience a break-in when compared to those that don't.

One of the best options would be motion sensor lighting. These can be set up around any access point of a property. As well as deterring criminals, a system like this will also alert a resident if there is anyone around the property who shouldn’t be there.

Secure Your Doors with A Master Key System

You should also think about exploring a master key system. The right master key system will be ideal for landlords. It will ensure that there is one key to open every door on the property and one key that can be used to open maintenance areas of the building.

With a master key, landlords can control exactly who can access properties as well as key areas that are related to the property. These can be matched with high-security locks. The key associated with these locks can’t be easily copied and so you will always know exactly who has access to your residential properties.

The main benefit of a master key door lock system is that it will give you peace of mind. You’ll always know exactly who can access the property at any given time.
