How To Camouflage Your Empty Property



It’s a matter of fact that criminals like burglars and vandals will usually go out of their way to try and identify unoccupied properties.

That’s because, in spite of what you might see on TV, the vast majority of such crooks don’t like the thought of discovery and confrontation. They will almost always try to select a house or flat that they believe is empty at the time they set about their business.

So, if you are going away on holiday or have a slight delay in moving into a house you have just purchased, it’ll be in your interest to try and hide the fact that nobody is living in it at the current time.

Here are a few practical ideas that might help even if they are not directly related to Christchurch removals as such:

• Don’t let post visibly accumulate in your post box, letterbox or on the floor of your hall. Criminals will spot that in an instant.

• If you are going to be away for some time, get a neighbour to keep your garden and external areas in good tidy condition. In particular, make sure the grass is regularly cut.
