Finally, you have found the new house matching your maximum requirements checklist and it’s time to reallocate there now. Before you indulge in packing and forget rest of the things in that mess, it would be better to think about and jot down the plan of your reallocating and keep the security measures on of the list and priority. Whether you have purchased your dream house or reallocating there as a new tenant, you should better care for the following:
Moving as new owner or tenant
First of all, if moving as a tenant to that new location, please make sure that you have found an experienced and reasonable locksmith in that town and have him booked in advance. Like, Key Maker Locksmith in Dubai, who will conduct a complimentary home security check for you and provide you with the security solution that would not only care for your security but also of your pocket. I have kept this point as the first and foremost because it would be your new home now, after all. Last, not least, don’t just rely on skimming your tenancy contract, do go through the agreement terms carefully.
If you have been lucky to own a house where you plan to spend another part of your life, let me suggest you opt for the home insurance as well. In that case, also, you need to carefully read the policy papers. You should be well aware of the covered areas of the policy and the liabilities you owe in case of any mishap.
Take note of the security arrangements of your new house and discuss it with your locksmith & CCTV surveillance providers to make sure that nothing gets ignored.
Don’t forget to get the details like the Brand, Provider, and Pin Code, etc. of the Security System, if already installed by the previous occupants.
Change is always better if it’s of locks
Change of locks goes in your favor when moving to your new residence. Although, majority of the people does not seem to pay heed to much of the security & insurance companies that keep on advising for change of locks whenever moving to a new location, whether residence or an office. Let me also remind you here that insurance companies regret to compensate for your loss if a burglary takes place at your location in which the key has been used for gaining entry into your premises. Another mistake that could become a valid argument for your insurer to turn your claim void is that locks fitted by you do not comply with the benchmark set by your insurance company.
Remember that before you start moving your luggage to the new location, call an experienced and technically advanced locksmith near your home like Key Maker locksmith in Dubai. These technically efficient locksmith guys would change locks of your doors and windows within no time and not much expense. They would be glad to advise you about the most economical solution best matching your requirements. Don’t forget to change the lock of the garage as most likely you would be dumping your goods during the move, if not parking your car for a few days.
Ignoring compliance or risking the clan
Let’s leave apart the insurance complexities for a while and think for a while that would it be acceptable for you to leave your near & dear ones at the risk of an alien who might have another / old key of your house locks? We shall not necessarily doubt the intention of the previous owners if they had assured that they haven’t got the duplicate keys but it could be a possibility that they might have lost a duplicate set of it in the past and had forgotten that any such set had ever existed. So changing the locks shall be preferred as it’s better to keep your family safe.
Better to have key duplicates while moving
Yes, it is better to have key duplication of all the important original keys of both the houses, that is, the new one where you are moving as well as of the old house which you are vacating. Shifting the house is a tedious and stressful job and losing the keys during the reallocating days is the most likely mistake. So it is better to have more than one set of duplicate keys. Once your shifting gets concluded, don’t forget to submit those copy keys to the final owners. You get the original set plus the duplicates from the person you are taking possession and similarly hand over the original keys and duplicates to the person you are giving the possession. This little job would give you great peace of mind instantly as well as in the future. If you are busy and could not manage to visit the locksmith for getting your keys duplicated then it’s better to call KeyMaker locksmith at your location and they would conveniently make duplicate keys at your doorstep. Remember to have duplicate key or FOB of your car as well, from the same guys. After all, they are just a call away in area.
