Preparing to ride off into the sunset for the summer? La Playa’s Private Client Director Matthew Mullee highlights the importance of shoring up your home while it’s unoccupied.
“As more people own holiday homes abroad, 3 and 4 week breaks are not uncommon – and some people “decamp” for the whole summer. Criminals are always on the lookout for houses that appear to be unoccupied”, says Matthew Mullee, Private Client Director. “But there are lots of ways to reduce your chances of being burgled whilst you are away.”
Just in case you DO come home to a disaster, it’s worth taking a couple of photographs of each room to help with any insurance claim you may need to make. This will act as a mini inventory and remind you what items may be missing or damaged. Take the camera with you, though!
Following these simple steps means your property is well protected so that you can relax and enjoy your break.
