Opening the doors of your home to strangers and allowing them to peek into every corner of your private property can be quite daunting and scary\u2026and a safety risk at that.<\/p>\n

Take control of your home\u2019s security on show house days, by following these steps to ensure your property is in good hands while you are not there:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If someone stands in for your agent on the show day, insist on meeting them and explaining arrangements for your home.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Alert the agent to the location of a panic button, if you have one, to ensure that the agent has access to it, along with your private security provider\u2019s emergency number.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Tell your private security service provider that your home will be on show and ask them to stop by during the afternoon to check that everything is in order.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Take all spare keys with you. Do not leave any keys for the home hanging on hooks that can be reached. Only give the agent the keys they need.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Always lock away valuables that can easily fit into a handbag or pocket. Remember that drawers and bathroom cabinets may be opened by potential buyers, so check that they do not contain valuable items.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Put away larger items of equipment that are not instrumental in showing off your home to stop criminals thinking they might have to return later when no one is home.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Open curtains and blinds or switch on lights in each room to discourage would-be thieves from untoward activity.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
