There’s so much to think about when moving, that things like changing the locks, often get overlooked. But think about how many people could have access to your property if you don’t? It’s not just the previous owners who may not have left all their keys – they may also have given copies out to tradesmen, friends and family members or neighbours over the years.
Insurers won’t cover for changing locks when you move house, however locks can be changed for relatively little cost. So think about whether it’s worth it, even for the peace of mind that only the people you’ve given a key to can access your new home.
