If safety is your priority…
A new survey has declared the safest place to live in the UK. It’s Surrey’s posh town Guildford. Research carried out by an insurance intermediary, Endsleigh, indicated that around 64% of residents of the locality were unlikely to make an insurance claim for the house burglary. The conclusion of research was based on analysis of data and its comparison with the national average.
The research also revealed that Swindon and Dundee were the other areas where burglars seemed least interested to operate. Nottingham, which had dubious record of burglaries double the national average, has also registered a decline of nearly 18%. The findings are backed by the Home Office data. Though some towns and cities carry higher risk profile than others, most encouraging fact is that burglary rates are falling everywhere.
The credit for this partly goes to commendable initiatives taken by the police, local authorities and voluntary organisations in the country to minimise the risk, which has always been haunting people looking for good accommodation.
