New proposals put forward by the government may mean that any perspective buyer could be provide with all the relevant information on the security of a house in the new home buying pack this is a matter for some debate which is looked at in our new section of the website. Home Buying Packs:-Help or Hindrance These simple measures can make a significant difference in your chances of being burgled or someone even attempting to burgle your home .The results of British Crime Survey from 22 July show that households where there were no security measures were far more likely to have been the victims of burglary, or attempted burglary, than those where there were simple security measures in place such as deadlocks on doors and window locks. The level of home security was the most important predictor of whether a household experienced burglary or not; 62% of homes that had been burgled didn't have window locks and 59% of burgled homes did not have a deadlock. Dave Hill, Era's Managing Director, comments "It is very encouraging that the figures demonstrate that easy to install high quality door and window locks can act as a real deterrent to burglars; people don't have to turn their homes into a fortress. In the light of these findings we believe that even more people will realise that effective home security can be achieved without great expense, and will be motivated to ensure that they are adequately protected." "Even though the level of domestic burglary has not increased since the last survey, it remains a big problem. At Era we remain committed to supplying a range of high quality, value for money security products that will allow householders to enjoy real peace of mind."
