Often located in rural or quiet areas, your holiday home or Airbnb may be a target for break-ins. Equipped with the best appliances and furniture for your guests for a pleasant stay may be a given but if your rental property isn’t fully booked all year round, it may be vulnerable to burglaries.
Fortunately, there are proactive steps you can take to secure your holiday home and ensure secure holiday accommodation. For Airbnb property protection and to secure your rental property, lock in security with our holiday home safety tips:
1. Assess vulnerabilities
Locating vulnerabilities is important for detecting potential risks to your Airbnb security and holiday home. Consider entry points, such as doors, windows, garage doors and whether any locks or lock fittings require repairs. Consult a professional locksmith to assess your property’s needs and for holiday home security recommendations. If you’re unsure what to look for, your local locksmith can help identify potential risks with a security survey and advise you on the best steps to protect your holiday home.
2. Reinforce entry points
To help prevent break-ins and keep your guests safe, reinforce entry points of your rental property with secure doors, high-security locks and safety protocols. Check whether any entry points, including windows and lock fittings, require repairs and speak to your local locksmith who can advise on maximising holiday rental security. By making necessary repairs, changes or installing Airbnb high-security locks, you can ensure your guests have a pleasant stay with easy access and security.
3. Install high-security locks
Ensure that your entry points are fitted with high-security locks such as British Standard locks for maximum protection, abiding by insurance and legal obligations. Check your door and window locks are efficient by consulting a professional locksmith and ensure all your door and window locks are robust. By installing high-security, high-quality locks on all your holiday home entry points, you can help protect your property and the safety of your guests.
4. Check your security systems
Reviewing your holiday home security systems and rental key management protocols is important. Consider how many keys you have for your rental property. Who has keys? Which doors or windows may be vulnerable? Do you have security cameras or alarms in place? By managing keys and security systems efficiently, you can protect your property whilst building trust with your guests for a seamless stay.
5. Safely store valuables
By safely storing valuables you can deter potential theft and provide a sense of security for your visitors, encouraging positive reviews and repeat bookings. By providing secure places for valuables, you can significantly enhance the trust and satisfaction of your guests, while removing any worries that your valuables may be subject to theft.
6. Regular maintenance
As a holiday homeowner or Airbnb host, you’ll know that repairs are essential for building maintenance. Are your door locks old or working properly? Perhaps a window lock has rusted or requires repair. Booking scheduled maintenance with a local locksmith can help ensure the functionality of your locks, doors and windows. Plus, a professional locksmith can check the maintenance of your security systems and advise on any recommendations to protect your holiday home and Airbnb security.
7. Guest safety protocols
Include a safety handbook for your guests. This may include the best practices and guidance to keep your holiday home safe, including protecting your guests. Include details on what to lock, where to leave keys at the end of their stay, emergency contact numbers, and a secure space for valuables.
Prevent holiday home burglaries and take proactive steps to significantly reduce the risk of break-ins by assessing vulnerabilities, reinforcing entry points, installing high-security locks, and maintaining security systems. Store valuables securely and provide a safety handbook for your guests.
