In the modern era of shared economy and short-term rentals, Airbnb has become the go-to platform for homeowners to earn extra income. In fact, it’s an ever-growing £2 billion business in the UK. However, with the rise in Airbnb properties, concerns about burglary and theft have also increased. While some intruders do get caught, over 80% of burglaries never get solved.
In other words, it’s up to you to secure your home. Thankfully, you can count on Ultion. Our team of experts strive to create the safest home security solutions to safeguard yourself and what matters most. In this article, we’ll share our expert tips on how to secure your Airbnb property. If you’re an Airbnb host or plan on renting your home short-term, read on!
#1: Invest in reliable door and window hardware
As we always say, the most effective defence against burglars is a physical barrier. Considering it takes an average of 9 seconds for a burglar to break into your home through a regular lock, bargaining with your safety is not wise. So, in order to secure your property, you should invest in high-quality hardware – especially for your doors and windows, since these are the preferred entry points for intruders. Ultion has a range of security door locks that go beyond accredited standards in terms of quality and safety – you must take a look at all the options and compare.
Next, let’s explore the next step in securing your Airbnb property.
#2: Add extra security features to your Airbnb property
After investing in sturdy and incredibly secure hardware such as the Ultion 3-Star door lock, extra security comes in handy. Alarms, security cameras or CCTV systems can help you monitor your property from afar and take preventative measures (for example, if you see someone suspicious lurking about your rental home). However, they don’t stop burglaries from happening. By the time you notice the break-in, the burglar will be in & out of your property and nowhere to be found.
The following tip is the key to keeping your Airbnb secure once and for all.
