Safety, Security & Howden Contents Insurance

We try to make our houses as secure as possible and break-ins are rare but please help us to keep it that way.

Lock doors and windows, draw curtains...

Please double-lock your front door and don’t leave windows open when you are not at home. Make it difficult for burglars to ‘case’ your house so draw curtains or blinds when you at home. Unfortunately criminals do target students at certain times of the year such as Freshers’ Week and the summer (when windows and doors are often left open) so please don’t make it easy for them.
