Homeowners will spend £56 million on gardens this summer
A recent survey from Esure Home Insurance shows that out of 92 per cent of homeowners having gardens, a tenth is going to spend over £500 on landscaping this summer season. This trend, however, can have a considerable impact on garden thefts, since burglars are more likely to take along expensive items such as bikes or lawnmowers. In spite of this threat, only one in two homeowners is considering improving the security of their garden.
The research also finds that while 76 per cent of homeowners have a shed with costly equipment (over £550), eight per cent of them do not use secure locks to protect their items when they are not used. In fact, more than 1.4 million homeowners had something stolen from their shed over the last 12 months.
