If you are planning to move, you must be ready to deal with numerous challenges, particularly the security. Moving can sometimes be stressful, particularly if you have not planned enough. But how can you make sure that you have moved smoothly by mitigating most of the challenges? Here are some 6 home security moving tips that can help you have a smooth, secure and safe move: 1. Research On the Moving Company Moving industry is huge but highly unregulated. The possibility of getting scammed by some of these companies is very high. It is, therefore, important to make sure that you have researched on your moving company. Make sure that they have a reputation. Find out if they are regulated. If they have a website, go through customer reviews as this will give you an idea on how they dealt with their previous clients. It is important to concentrate most on the bad reviews as opposed to positive reviews. 2. Take Inventory Make sure that all belongings have been detailed in a list or spreadsheet. You don’t want to miss some of the belonging after relocating to your new home. Make sure that you labeled the boxes and record serial numbers for electronics. Some of the moving companies may have some rogue workers who may steal some of the belongings such as electronic. 3. Take insurance cover Before you move into your new home, make sure that you have purchased an insurance cover to protect your belongings. Renter or homeowners’ insurance would be the best since it covers the damage and loss of your possessions while moving. The insurance cover will also take care of theft, disaster, break-ins while moving. This cover will help in covering most of the losses that are associated with moving activities. 4. Research Your New Neighborhood How will your new neighborhood better than your current one? This is a question that you need to address before moving. Make sure that you have researched well by visiting the area several times before moving. Ask around about the place, particularly the dwellers’ viewpoint. Some of the issues that you may need address include how near the gas station, gym, grocery and other facilities are. If you are a family person, make sure that you familiarized your family with the new neighborhood and ensure that they liked it. 5. Identify Vulnerable Area Moving into a new home makes you vulnerable to theft due to some weak points such as missing locks on the door or garages. Make sure that you have checked for the vulnerable areas once you have moved once you have moved. Ensure that have replaced such locks on doors, windows, and gates to keep your property safe. Also, make sure that you cleared the bushes around the compound. 6. Change The Locks If the new home was occupied before, it is prudent to change the locks. You don’t know the kind of the person the previous occupants were and they might be having a spare key to the property. What if they come back and steal from you? This is the reason why you should switch the main locks even before moving. Doing a video of the whole exercise is another great way to improve the security.
