PROPERTY & YOU – BY PAUL MCKENZIE, ABS CONVEYANCING
Going into the summer period, please make sure your home is safe and secure. Focus on home security and safety to ensure a worry-free holiday time.
In bushfire season, make sure your home has adequate insurance cover, and is clear of dead tree branches and organic material. Make sure there is a buffer zone between your house and any bushland area.
Also, make sure your home is secure. Lock all doors when going out to Christmas and New Year parties, and even when you are asleep at night. Burglaries in the local area are now an issue, since the Metro stations and north west railway line has opened. Make sure you home insurance also covers burglaries damage and theft.
Ensure children are safe and secure, especially around swimming pools. If you are creating a bushfire plan, include steps to keep pets and livestock safe and secure.
The festive season is a good time to catch up and meet new residents in your street or neighbourhood. Especially during summer bushfire and storms, great neighbours help each other in times of emergency.
Yes, ABS Conveyancing will be open during the business days between Christmas and New Year, for any festive property conveyancing, with buying and selling.
