If you live in an area with a higher rate of break-ins, it\u2019s especially important to make sure your policy covers the full value of what you own and that your home security is up to date.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSimple measures like installing a burglar alarm, and upgrading the locks on your doors and windows, can help reduce your risk. Remember to keep these locks well-maintained so that they stay in good working order, too. In turn, this could bring down your premiums.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo matter where you live, shopping around for quotes is one of the easiest ways to make sure you\u2019re getting the right cover for you at a fair price, so remember to compare policies regularly. Check that you\u2019ve selected the right lock types when buying your policy as well, as your claim could be invalidated if you get this wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the other end of the scale, Cumbria, Suffolk, and Devon &#038; Cornwall have the lowest burglary rates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Areas like Sheffield and Rotherham are some of the worst for burglaries in the UK, research by Go.Compare Home Insurance shows.
