Many homeowners could reduce their home insurance costs by taking steps to increase their property's security credentials, according to a financial industry commentator.
Writing for Money.co.uk, Sally Darby said she believes that boosting home security could lead to a drop in home insurance premiums and reduce the risk of being targeted by thieves.
She explained that cutting home insurance costs can be relatively easy by introducing a few extra security measures across a residence.
"You can make your home more secure by fitting insurer-approved locks to your doors and windows - and keeping them locked when you are not at home," said Ms Darby.
"Insurer-approved alarms too will reduce the risk of a break-in, in turn reducing the cost of cover," she added.
Last week, Greenbee claimed that home insurance claims are on the rise due to incidents including accidental damage.
