Recent research* has revealed that the style of your home impacts your chance of burglary. According to the data, Art Deco homes had the highest burglary rate, followed by Georgian and then Stuart. At the other end of the scale, new builds, as well as those built in the 70s and 80s, had the lowest burglary risk.
To help reduce the risk and make your home more secure, investing in security measures such as alarms or CCTV can be a good place to start. Despite common opinion, adding security items to your home doesn’t mean that they have to be unsightly. Smart products can provide high-tech and contemporary solutions that suit and compliment every household, no matter what your style:
