New research reveals that younger homeowners are more security conscious than those over the age of 65.
The research, conducted by HOPPE UK, has shown that three quarters of homeowners aged 18-34 worry about their home security more as the clocks go back. Considerably less homeowners over the age of 65 share these concerns, with 60% of respondents saying they don’t worry more during the winter months.
Just under two thirds of respondents aged 18-34 know the security standard of their front and back door handles compared to only half of homeowners over the age of 65, further emphasising younger homeowners’ increased awareness of security.
However, all respondents identified their front door as their first priority if they were looking to improve their home security.
