And, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/health\/article-7166543\/Holidays-cut-risk-heart-disease.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>research<\/strong><\/a> finding that every holiday you take each year reduces your risk of metabolic syndrome (the risk factors that contribute to heart disease) by 25%, you&#8217;ll improve your physical health, too. However, one thing that can stop you from fully relaxing is worrying about whether your home is secure whilst you\u2019re not there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you\u2019re going to explore the UK in your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/van-life-unique-camper-van-caravan-and-motorhome-conversion-ideas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>camper van<\/strong><\/a> or are planning on doing nothing except lounging on the beach, make sure you can let go and de-stress by taking the necessary home security precautions beforehand. Take a look at some key security tips, below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pause any mail subscriptions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"766\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/assets\/2021\/07\/home-security-holiday-2.jpg\" alt=\"Home security precautions: Parcels left on doorstep\" class=\"wp-image-38926\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2021\/07\/05181737\/home-security-holiday-2.jpg 766w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2021\/07\/05181737\/home-security-holiday-2-453x332.jpg 453w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A pile of parcels and letters on your doorstep is a clear sign that you\u2019ve not been home for a while. Make sure to pause any fruit and veg box, meal kit and other subscription box deliveries. Or, change the delivery date to when you\u2019re back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also sign up to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.royalmail.com\/receiving\/keepsafe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Royal Mail\u2019s Keepsafe service<\/a><\/strong>. They\u2019ll keep your post whilst you\u2019re away. Then, once you let them know you\u2019re back, they\u2019ll deliver it all to your address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lock your things away<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Opportunist thieves will use ladders, tools and other equipment left in your garden to break a window and force entry into your house. So, put your equipment away in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/garage-organisation-how-to-sort-out-your-garage-once-and-for-all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>garage<\/strong><\/a> or locked <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/top-tips-for-shed-construction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shed<\/a><\/strong>, instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the same way, you should keep any valuables inside your home out of sight. Put anything of real value in a home safe. Plus, keep your door and car keys away from any windows, where they can be easily spotted and fished out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s important to security mark your high value belongings too, in case the worst happens, and you do get burgled. Security marked valuables are harder for burglars to sell on, which discourages them from stealing them in the first place. Plus, security marking helps the police to return your stolen items to you if they\u2019re found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Consider a smart security system<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"766\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/assets\/2021\/07\/home-security-holiday-3.jpg\" alt=\"Home security precautions: Woman relaxing in hammock whilst looking at a home security smartphone app\" class=\"wp-image-38925\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2021\/07\/05181731\/home-security-holiday-3.jpg 766w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2021\/07\/05181731\/home-security-holiday-3-498x332.jpg 498w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smart security cameras let you see what\u2019s going on in your home no matter where you are, through a smartphone app. Innovative motion detection features notify you if someone gets inside or very close to your house, or if they open a door or window, so you won\u2019t have to be stuck to your phone all day. You can then quickly notify the police, who might have more of a chance of stopping the intruder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A great way to make it look like people are home (and therefore ward off burglars) is to have the lights on. Obviously, it\u2019s not friendly to the environment or your pocket to keep them on 24\/7. So, consider installing a smart lighting system. It\u2019ll allow you to set a schedule, so your lights turn on periodically. Or, you can turn them on and off as you wish on a smartphone app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want to go the extra mile with your home security precautions? Check out some <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/the-worlds-wackiest-home-security-systems\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">extreme home security systems<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Focus on door and window integrity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A weak door is an easy entry point for a thief. So, another of the key home security precautions to take is to make sure that your door isn&#8217;t misaligned or damaged. You should also consider upgrading your door locks to British Standard or high security anti-snap locks \u2013 it\u2019s the number one <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/top-security-tips-from-locksmiths\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">top security tip from locksmiths<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, make sure all your windows are strong, sealed and closed before you jet off. Double or triple glazed windows are stronger and harder to break than single glazed ones; additional features such as sash jammers and toughened glass will give you extra peace of mind, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Be careful on social media<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"766\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/assets\/2021\/07\/home-security-holiday-4.jpg\" alt=\"Group of friends in a hot tub on a weekend away\" class=\"wp-image-38924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2021\/07\/05181726\/home-security-holiday-4.jpg 766w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2021\/07\/05181726\/home-security-holiday-4-498x332.jpg 498w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can be tempting to share a poolside selfie on social media, but you never know who can see your posts. Stay on the safe side \u2013 don\u2019t broadcast your absence whilst you&#8217;re away. Wait until you&#8217;re back home to upload those memories!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Keep your home&#8217;s exterior in check<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some criminals will keep an eye on the exterior of your house for the tell-tale signs that you\u2019ll be out for a while. An overgrown lawn, washing left on the line and dead front edging will give them the confirmation they\u2019re looking for. So, get your <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/category\/by-room\/garden-and-outdoors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">garden<\/a><\/strong> in shape and remember to take your washing in before you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Enlist the help of your neighbours<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"766\" height=\"502\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ratedpeople.com\/blog\/assets\/2021\/07\/home-security-holiday-5.jpg\" alt=\"Two neighbours talking through the fence\" class=\"wp-image-38923\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2021\/07\/05181721\/home-security-holiday-5.jpg 766w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2021\/07\/05181721\/home-security-holiday-5-507x332.jpg 507w, https:\/\/rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com\/assets\/2021\/07\/05181721\/home-security-holiday-5-320x210.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lots of us get a trusted friend, family member or neighbour to pop in and feed the cat and water the plants whilst we\u2019re away. It\u2019s worth asking them to draw the curtains, switch the lights on (remembering to turn them off before they leave), remove any leaflets or junk mail in the letterbox and park their car on your driveway whilst they\u2019re there, too. This will make your house look lived in and discourage any potential intruders keeping an eye on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your next holiday will give you the opportunity to rest, recharge and enjoy quality time with your loved ones.
