• Youve signed the last of the paperwork, and your
  new home is officially yours!
• For first time buyers, the act of owning your own
  home can be an exciting one and while it
  certainly comes with its rewards, its important
  to remember that your new home needs to be
  adequately protected, as do you and whoever will
  be living in it with you.
• To make sure that you address all the security
  aspects of home ownership, weve compiled a list
  of 8 security essentials that every home should
  have

• 1.Smoke detectors
• While you might think (and will almost certainly
  hope) that your home will never be affected by a
  fire, sadly, you just cant be sure of that. What
  you can be sure of, however, is giving your home
  and everyone in it, the best chance of staying
  safe and well in the event of a fire, by
  installing smoke detectors at appropriate
  locations throughout your home.

• Home security system
• With so many affordable options for home security
  systems on the market today, theres no excuse
  for not using one to keep your new home safe. To
  discover more about what systems are available,
  chat to a local security specialist who can talk
  you through your choices.

5

• Robust, high security locks
• Unless youre the first person to own your home,
  you may never know exactly who has got keys to
  your property, so one of the first things you
  should do before moving into your new home, is
  call up a residential locksmith and have them
  replace the locks. While theyre doing so, they
  might suggest some lock upgrades, in which case
  you can take advantage of their expertise and
  have them upgrade any locks as necessary.

• A high security safe
• A good safe is an investment youll never regret,
  and it really is the only way to have complete
  peace of mind that items of value are protected
  from theft at all times. To know more about which
  safe might best suit your needs, and how and
  where to install it in your home, talk to a local
  safe specialist who can give you the most
  up-to-date advice and guidance.
• Fire extinguisher
• These devices have the potential to save lives
  when used in conjunction with a smoke detector,
  and as with a safe, they are a purchase you will
  never regret having made.

7

• Security cameras
• These are a fantastic deterrent for criminals,
  and in the event that someone should intrude
  onto, or into your property, youll have all the
  evidence you need to help local law enforcement
  apprehend the offender(s).
• Smart doorbell
• These relatively new devices are growing in
  popularity, and if theyre Wi-Fi enabled, you can
  remotely see when important packages are
  delivered, when the kids get back from school,
  and spot anyone doing anything they shouldnt be,
  on your doorstep!

8

• Flashlight
• You might assume that every homeowner owns at
  least one flashlight, but the reality is very
  different!
• Your new home is absolutely worth protecting, so
  make sure you can tick off all (or most) of the
  points above, and hopefully youll be safe and
  sound in your home for many years to come.
