Neelkanth Safe Deposit's Burglary Prevention Tips

Burglars have become smarter over the years and they know who to target and when. No longer is a burglar a blundering fool the way they are often depicted on TV, especially in comedy shows. They don’t wear striped tops and black berets while carrying a bag with the word “Swag” on it.

Burglars are smart. Burglars aren’t easy to spot – they look like anyone else. And with smart tools, they can break into any house and find where you have hidden your valuables.


How to stop your home from being targeted:

  • Lock all your doors even when you’re inside.
  • Don’t leave first-floor windows open.
  • Don’t let mail pile up. On the inside of your front door put a container that catches all your mail from the letterbox.
  • Don’t post holiday photos online anywhere until you’ve returned and never say you’re going away.
  • Have security lights at the front and back of your property so anyone approaching is illuminated. Have them installed high up so they can't be tampered with.
  • Burglars like an easy job – make it as difficult for them as possible for them and you’re far less likely to be targeted.

Rachel Reeves announces annual tax on homes worth over £2 million

Highlights

  • New annual surcharge on homes worth over £2 m comes into force in April 2028, rising with inflation.
  • Tax starts at £2,500 for properties valued £2m-£2.5m, reaching £7,500 for homes worth £5m or more.
  • London and South East disproportionately affected, with 82 per cent of recent £2m-plus sales in these regions.
Britain has announced a new annual tax on homes worth more than £2 million, expected to raise £400 million by 2029-30, according to estimates from the Office for Budget Responsibility.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves pointed that the measure would address "a long-standing source of wealth inequality in our country" by targeting "less than the top 1 per cent of properties". The surcharge will come into force in April 2028.

Under the policy, property owners will face a recurring annual charge additional to existing council tax liability.
