Protect your home !

• Ensure that your home is secure and that your belongings are well insured, and never leave valuables lying around.
• Install an alarm which is connected to a security center. We can recommend providers depending on your budget .
• It’s advisable to arrange for someone to frequently check your property when it’s left unoccupied. Petty theft from a windown left open can be common in some parts of Spain.
• Make sure each access point such as windows and doors, have a secure lock with a key. Metal bars or “rejas” in Spain are advisable if you live in a detached home. If you prefer to have an undeterred view, security shutters are an excellent alternative.
• If you live in a ground floor apartment it is advisable to have metal bars or shutters,
• Of course if you have a high value of contents or jewellery, you may consider an alarm and window protection even in an apartment.
